Language Study (语言学习)
In my teaching practice, besides delivering the knowledge and skills to use Mandarin, it is my aim to inspire and motivate my students to learn the language. I believe the most efficient language learning happens through students’ own engagement and self-effort. My years of teaching experience have shown that this is vital, especially in England where students have few opportunities to learn and practice Mandarin.

In practice I utilise interactive teaching methods and activities to motivate students to learn and communicate in Mandarin Chinese. I believe that language development happens through social interaction and guided assistance, so that teacher and students have to work together to co-construct meaning in context. I often use visual aids, such as software tools or videos and make students feel that learning Mandarin is interesting. I also make a lot of effort to interact with my students throughout the learning process, e.g. to design conversation on various topics of daily life and the rotation of the roles of reading, composition writing, feedback and so on. One of most important principles of my teaching philosophy is to cultivate my students' communicative abilities and to teach them to use the Chinese language in real life.


Culture Experience (文化感触)
Language is the carrier of culture and, at the same time, an indispensable part of culture: culture and language cannot be separated from each other. I believe culture is a crucial concept in language teaching, so that the integration of cultural awareness and understanding into language teaching is therefore very essential. In a certain sense language learning is culture learning. Exposure to culture will in turn inspire students' interest in learning the language as well.

The Chinese culture has 5,000 years of history and is one of the world's oldest cultures. Traditional Chinese culture is very broad, rich, extensive and profound, and these include categories of literature, music, visual arts, martial arts, and so on. In my teaching, I often introduce aspects of Chinese culture to my students, e.g. Chinese paper-cuts (剪纸, Chinese calligraphy(书法), Beijing opera(京剧), Chinese painting (国画), traditional Chinese medicine (中医), Tai Chi (太极), Gu Zheng (古筝),Chinese carving (雕刻),Chinese architecture (建筑),Chinese chess (象棋), Wei Qi (围棋),the Chinese Zodiac (生肖),the Lunar calendar(农历), and lots more! My observations show that students are often very interested in particular aspects of Chinese culture, and this motivates their language learning.
