The faculty in College English
Department ? have been making great efforts to accomplish teaching
tasks by regularly holding academic symposiums, mutually attending
lectures, frequently communicating with students and learning from
peers from other colleges and universities. They are fully aware
it’s their pursuit to adopt the most effective methods to fulfill
their mission. Knowing ahead of what’s “in” in college
English teaching, most young faculty dare to attempt new ideas and
methods in their teaching practice. As a result, the students benefit
greatly from their flexible and effective teaching styles.
“We are here just for you.” That’s
their motto. They have managed to imbue their students with PBL
methods. At the same time, they advocate “Any questions and suggestions
from you are welcome anywhere, any time.” More often than not,
the teachers get e-mails from their students, suggesting “Could
you explain GREENHOUSE EFFECT in greater detail in the next period?”
or expressing “I really love your lecture today!” What a harmonious
teacher-student relationship they enjoy!
The wonderful classrooms are always what
both teachers and students are expecting. Students are encouraged
to speak about various topics, such as “What do you think of
‘Ladies First’ in the modern society?” and “Why are
some girl graduates denied job opporuties?” Students shoot up
their hands and express their opinions. Sometimes, the whole class
laugh. Sometimes, the whole class are shocked. Anyway, they are
always well prepared and treasure the opportunities for practising
their spoken English. More significantly, both teachers and students
actively get themselves involed in classroom activities, relish
them and benefit from them.
While they arrange fascinating classroom
activities, teachers also try every possible means to help students
score high on CET-4 and CET-6. Thanks to their efforts, students
have performed wonderfully well in these national English tests.
The faculty in College English Department
?have never faced greater challenges. How to teach efficiently and
effectively is always what they are considering. To improve their
teaching, they have done some scientific research in their academic
fields, such as linguistics, literature and culture. In the past
several years, they have published some books and research papaers
that have won them respect from their colleagues and students. |
