CWU Hosts Meeting for Overseas Chinese Teachers

 

The School of Culture and Communication at China Women's University (CWU) held a seminar recently for volunteers who have taught Chinese abroad. Some five volunteers from the faculty of International Chinese Education participated in the event and shared their overseas experiences.

Zhou Xintong, one of the volunteers, outlined the preliminary preparations and the specific training process for overseas teachers. Another volunteer, Chen Yiguo, shared her experiences and daily life in Thailand, and introduced several different exotic festivals through a short film.

Other volunteers shared their lives with foreign students and put forward several constructive suggestions, including following the local customs, respecting cultural differences, actively participating in activities and always keeping a cool head.

In three hours of communication, the volunteers shared their experiences with image-rich slides. Their introduction increased students' understanding of Thailand's customs, laid a solid foundation for basic knowledge inspection, triggered students' enthusiasm in Chinese teaching and cross-cultural communication, and firmed up students' beliefs in Chinese teaching.

The School of Culture and Communication has sent 31 Chinese teachers to the Southeast Asian Confucius Institute, Confucius Classroom and the Confucius Institute of the University of Missouri in the past four years.

The teachers volunteered to go abroad, dedicated themselves to disseminating traditional Chinese culture, demonstrated female college students' vitality and shaped an image of bravery and selflessness, school leaders said.
