Teaching Courses

Comprehensive English

Profile

I have been a committed teacher with a TESOL qualification for over ten years. I worked as a teacher and leader of the English teaching team for Fuzhou Napier College of Fuzhou University before I came to International College of Xiamen University in 2006. During the period, I am delighted to have an opportunity to study in the University of Leicester and visit the University of Southampton. Through years of teaching, I have taught a variety of courses including the four skills of English language and Introduction to Learning Theories and Teaching. I believe significant learning only takes place when students are actively engaged in meaningful activities. Moreover, in the internet era, teachers are no longer the sole source of information. Classroom teaching should focus more on student needs. Teachers need to facilitate student learning by training their analytical skills and finding ways to engage them in taking responsibility for their own learning. Teachers need to work with students and help them to grasp new learning opportunities.
