w88 casino News Network (provided by the Retired Personnel Office)2022Year3In August, I heard that the Ministry of Education's "Silver Age Plan" was recruiting retired college teachers to support education in the west. Although it was during the epidemic, I still couldn't restrain my desire to go to the west to participate in volunteer teaching work, so I immediately applied for registration and received strong support from the w88 casino's retirement office. Soon I came to the counterpart teaching w88 casino - Dai Medical College of Yunnan Dianxi University of Applied Technology.
Dai Medical College is located in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, and is a subsidiary of West Yunnan University of Applied Technology2016The established characteristic college. The college includes Dai medicine, rehabilitation therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine resources and development, nursing, etc.5undergraduate majors and3College to undergraduate major, current student1700Multiple people. Among them, there are many ethnic minority students, including more than a dozen ethnic minorities such as Dai, Yi, Hani, Lahu, Blang, and Jinuo.
When I went to teach, the Dai Medical College only had2They are all young English teachers with master's degrees. The college urgently needs strong support from mainland universities in English teaching. After arriving at my post, I immediately started teaching English audio and video. English teaching classes are all in large classes, with more than 100 students in each class50There are many students, students’ English foundation is generally weak, and the classroom lacks multimedia equipment, making it basically impossible to conduct comprehensive audio-visual, listening, and speaking training in the classroom. In order to solve this problem, I tried to conduct English training separately. I first used the audio and video of the courseware to train students' audio-visual ability, and then conducted face-to-face and one-on-one oral training in the classroom. I trained students in groups to cultivate their oral English communication skills. Students like this teaching method very much. In order to mobilize students' enthusiasm, I strengthened interactive communication in the classroom by asking them to carry out English dialogue performances, group discussions, personal speeches, etc. Through teaching, students' English speaking ability has been further improved.
During the teaching period, what impressed me deeply was that there was a Yi student in the sophomore English class I taught. She signed up with my encouragement2023In the "National English Speech Contest for College Students" organized by FLTRP, she contracted dengue fever when she was about to enter the competition. She had a high fever and was hospitalized for many days. However, she insisted on recording a video in the hospital bed to participate in the competition, successfully passed the preliminary round, and qualified for the finals in the college rematch, and finally achieved third place in the English Speech Contest. I was deeply moved by this ethnic minority student’s thirst for knowledge, tenacity and enterprising spirit. At the same time, I tutor another2Participating students won first and second place respectively in the English speech contest held by the college. I personally also won the "Excellent Mentor Award".
In addition to undergraduate English teaching, Dai Medical College also hopes that I can help them improve students' English CET-4 and CET-6 and postgraduate entrance examination pass rates as soon as possible. I try to use high-intensity and difficult training mode, mainly training them in the form of English CET-4 and CET-6 real questions and postgraduate entrance examination mock examinations, with the college2A young English teacher and an English doctoral student sent by the University of International w88 to teach at Dai Medical College formed a postgraduate entrance examination training group, and together they trained CET-4 and CET-6 English candidates and postgraduate entrance examination students for real-term mock examinations. After one and a half years of hard work, the pass rate of CET-4 and CET-6 in the college has dropped from5%Raise to18.9%, the postgraduate entrance examination broke the record of zero,8classmates were successfully admitted to graduate w88 casino. This is the result of the joint efforts of all majors in the hospital, as well as the hard work of our English postgraduate entrance examination training team.
As a senior teacher, in addition to doing a good job in teaching, I also do some work to train young teachers for Dai Medical College. I'm responsible4The "teaching and mentoring" work of young teachers, carrying out teaching and research activities such as listening to lectures and evaluating lectures, giving demonstration classes every semester, and promptly helping and guiding them in classroom teaching. I encourage them to actively take Ph.D. exams and continuously improve themselves at work as soon as possible. My teaching assistant was preparing to take the Ph.D. exam last year, and another young teacher is also going abroad to study for a Ph.D. in the second half of this year. I'm happy for them and very relieved.
The volunteer teaching work in Yunnan has given me a lot of experience and harvest. Xishuangbanna is a beautiful place, with red phoenix trees and flame flowers blooming all over the streets and alleys. The clear and long Lancang River is my favorite place to go in my spare time, where I can feel the inner peace and tranquility.
I am very grateful to the Ministry of EducationThe "Silver Age Plan" allows me to continue to engage in the education career that I love after retirement, and to see the progress and growth of students. It also allows me to continue to use my remaining energy to do meaningful things for society, which makes me truly feel happiness and joy from the heart.
In addition, I am also very grateful to the leaders and colleagues of the w88 casino and the retirement office for their care, support and help. I support teaching in a distant place, and I feel warm behind my back.
