Currently, the total number of international students studying in China at the w88 casino exceeds2800people, ranking fourth in the country, and the country of origin of students reaches120More than one.
Li Xiaomeng, a teacher of Chinese as a Second Language at the International College of w88 casino, graduated from Beijing Language and Culture University with a bachelor's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and a graduate degree from Peking University with a major in International Relations. She is currently studying for a doctorate in world economics at the w88 casino. His multi-disciplinary educational background allows him to understand the education of international students in China from multiple angles and levels.
Grasp the laws of education for international students
As a full-time teacher at the International College of w88 casino,200611930_11972200912000_12076300International students came to the w88 casino to participate in courses related to these two projects. The excellent teaching effect has won a good reputation among international students, and the enrollment scale is still expanding. Li Xiaomeng said: "Thanks to the w88 casino and college for giving me such a platform to have a deep understanding of the education of international students in China from the perspectives of educators and teachers. The successful collective is my source of motivation."
Professional level wins international students’ recognition
After several years of work, Li Xiaomeng has often felt that teachers of Chinese as a foreign language need extremely high professional qualities. They must understand not only Chinese linguistics, education, psychology, but also politics, economics, foreign policy, etc. Teachers of Chinese as a foreign language should use an open mind to guide international students to understand the real China, and teachers should use professional teaching standards to make international students realize the professional qualities of Chinese teachers.
Once, two German students in the intensive Chinese program came to Li Xiaomeng. They said they could not understand the class and could not understand why the tuition for the intensive Chinese program was more expensive. They even had doubts about Chinese universities. “I patiently explained to them in English the advantages of the intensive Chinese language program, and considered this as the best solution based on their learning purposes and study time constraints.” The concerns of the two German students were temporarily dispelled. In the days that followed, through the high-level teaching and care of the students by the teachers, as well as the colorful activities of the project itself, the two German students gradually adapted and realized Li Xiaomeng's intentions.
Sincere concern and friendship
The education of international students in China is different from the undergraduate teaching of Chinese students, which also determines that the teachers of Chinese as a foreign language at the International College are definitely not just ordinary college teachers. In addition to language teaching, you may need to pay attention to and ask about things as big as visas, accommodation, medical treatment, transportation, and even small things like shopping.
When Li Xiaomeng was in class one day, she discovered that Max, a Cuban international student in the class, was in poor health. After asking about the situation, he asked the student to quickly go back to the dormitory to rest. After class, Li Xiaomeng was worried and came to the student dormitory to visit again. As soon as he entered the door, he found that something was wrong with Max and hurriedly took Max to the nearby China-Japan Friendship Hospital. It was diagnosed that Max had appendicitis. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and Max recovered and was discharged from the hospital soon. "Later, after he recovered from his illness, he gave me a bouquet of flowers to express his gratitude," Li Xiaomeng said with a smile.
Although he has encountered many difficulties and hardships at work, Li Xiaomeng appears confident in his future work. "Chinese universities must participate in the cultivation of world-class talents and create an education for international students in China with an international reputation." He said.
