w88 casino News（International College Feed）Hello everyone, I am Cui Yanlei from International College. I am very happy to have the opportunity to share my education story here today. As a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, my teaching targets are mainly international students. The particularity of the teaching object determines that I not only have to doThe "Four Good Teachers" and "Four Guides" also shoulder the important task of telling Chinese stories, spreading Chinese culture, and cultivating more international people who know China, are friendly to China, and love China. I have been teaching Chinese as a foreign language for more than ten years. I have taught thousands of international students and have formed deep friendships with many of them. Below I will share my education story from three aspects in the process of teaching international students.

一、Tell the story of China’s fight against the epidemic well and water the flowers of friendship between China and foreign countries.After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, some Western politicians and media have been deliberately smearing China. International students in w88 casino have also learned a lot of information through various channels, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false and they are at a loss. In addition to ensuring the normal development of teaching work, I also did two additional tasks: First, under the unified deployment of schools and colleges, I promptly conveyed the Chinese government's epidemic prevention policies and spread anti-epidemic knowledge about personal protection; second, in daily communication with students, I told them the true state of China and the true thoughts of the Chinese people. Chinese teachers have a lot of contact with students, and teachers and students have formed deep friendships, so they are more willing to believe what the teacher says. With everyone's joint efforts, international students continue to understand the real situation in China dynamically, and are willing to speak out to their family and friends, and take the initiative to tell the story of China's fight against the epidemic. For a time, they became the disseminators of China’s anti-epidemic stories, and their views were easier for foreigners to accept. It is the little things these international students have done, like a trickle, that continue to water the flowers of friendship between China and foreign countries.

2. Try every means to do your job well and spread Chinese culture.During the epidemic, international students are not allowed to come to China, and Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language has been conducted online. There are many practical difficulties that are difficult to solve when conducting online classes for international students all over the world, such as the time difference problem. Not only do students have to overcome jet lag to come to class, but teachers are also deeply affected by jet lag. Many students would send messages asking questions at night, Beijing time. Over time, I would habitually turn on my phone when I went to the bathroom at night to see if there were any messages that needed replying. If you forget to mute your cell phone one day, and you are suddenly silenced in the middle of the nightI woke up to the sound of "ding dong". Thinking that it might be a message from an international student, I quickly picked up my phone to reply. In addition, international students are overseas and cannot buy Chinese textbooks, so PPT made by teachers has become their most dependent learning resource. In order to provide a rich Chinese language environment, I extensively collect and produce audio and video that meet the students' language level, insert them into the original PPT, and strive to make each page of PPT a time capsule for learning Chinese and spreading Chinese culture. After the course, many students said they enjoyed the course, which not only improved their Chinese proficiency, but also further understood Chinese culture. I am very proud and proud.

3. Help without breaking the rules, neither humble nor overbearing.International students from the w88 casino come fromMore than 160 countries, with different backgrounds and strange ideas, sometimes make confusing requests. How to act in accordance with principles without harming the friendship between teachers and students is a great test of the teacher's diplomatic wisdom. One final exam started at 8 a.m. Beijing time, and a Bulgarian student who was exempt from listening but not exempt from taking the exam did not attend. I contacted her via WeChat, but she ignored me. She contacted me at 12 noon, saying that she had remembered the wrong time, and made an unreasonable request, asking me to give her a make-up exam at that time. I said that the final exam was very serious, and I could not take it whenever I wanted. She was very rude and said that she would contact the Chinese Embassy in Bulgaria and let the embassy coordinate the matter. Because this student is exempt from attending class and does not usually attend class, I am not familiar with her. So how can we solve this problem well without intensifying the contradiction? I thought about it and sent her a message: I believe the Chinese Embassy in Bulgaria will also respect the rules and regulations of the w88 casino. After that, her attitude changed a lot, saying that it was her fault that she didn't take the exam on time, and she hoped that I could help make up for it. Now that she has realized her mistake, I contacted the academic affairs department for her and she was able to take the make-up exam in the second semester. She was very grateful. There are many similar situations. When dealing with international students, my principle is: I will help where I can, so that they can feel the friendliness of the Chinese people. However, when it comes to unreasonable demands, they must abide by the rules and let them see Chinese norms and be neither humble nor overbearing.

On May 17, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a reply to all Pakistani students at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, encouraging young people at home and abroad to join hands to contribute to promoting people-to-people bonds around the world and building a community with a shared future for mankind. Telling Chinese stories well and spreading Chinese culture will help countries around the world understand China and are of great significance to building a community with a shared future for mankind. As a front-line teacher who directly faces international students, I am proud that I can contribute a small amount to the realization of this grand goal for mankind.
