Foreign Faculty at HEBUT
(Original Source: https://xww.hebut.edu.cn/zhxw/66802.htm)
On the occasion of the 115th anniversary of the university, we interviewed a group of people who traveled to the University of Technology from various countries in the world. They have different skin colors, but they are devoted to the same cause; they have different mother tongues, but they have the same educating spirit; they have different cultural backgrounds, but they are also interested in China. They are foreign teachers from the International Education College of Hebei University of Technology.
“The teachers are funny and humorous in private, and we will soon become friends!” “But the class requirements are very strict!” “No matter how personal we are, we will never relax when it comes to academic issues, especially strict!” The foreign teachers and teachers in my heart were described with great interest to the author.
Foreign teachers proudly say that although the students’ native language is not English, they have high quality and solid foundation, and their language skills and learning ability can fully support their understanding of the classroom content. Moreover, they adhere to the principle of gradual progress in the setting of the difficulty of the course, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, by issuing pre-reading materials for students to learn before class, and using the teaching platform to arrange and correct post-class assignments to help students better understand classroom knowledge and apply it.
Foreign teachers believe that, while cultivating students ‘professional skills, their classrooms also train students’ language abilities. In addition, the introduction of cutting-edge information in professional fields has laid a solid foundation for students to further their studies. At the same time, they tried to develop some innovative teaching methods. For example, Peter, who loves music and art, taught classmates mathematics through dance.
“Hebei University of Technology is a warm family”
Stephen from Massey University, New Zealand, repeatedly mentioned that his colleagues were humble and sincere. They provided a lot of help in work and life, and often invited them to make dumplings and dinner together. Just a few weeks ago, I also celebrated Amjed’s birthday together. He felt very warm at the University of Technology and even missed his colleagues and classmates when he returned to his hometown during the holidays.
Amjed, also from Massey University, said with a smile on his face: “The Chinese teacher and I have surpassed the friendship of colleagues, we are good friends!” And the student got along with him very happily: to help him when he first arrived in China. Open a bank account, apply for a mobile phone card, and even accompany him to the hospital for a health check. He said that he cherishes the friendship with children and teachers. In addition, Amjed often goes to the basketball court to play, he said that this makes him closer to colleagues and students.
Peter from Charles Darwin University said that the students were very active in communicating with him, courageous and willing to ask questions in class, and often actively communicating with him after class.
“Happy Birthday to the 115th Anniversary of Hebei University of Technology”
When it was mentioned that this year was the 115th birthday of the university, foreign teachers sent their blessings to the school.
They professed that although they were not familiar with the history of the university, they felt that the campus is full of story and historic national treasure buildings, which highlights the culture and heritage of a century-old school.
They said that they were willing to take home what they saw, heard and felt in China, and let more people know that this university has a long history and profound heritage. I hope that I can become a link between HEBUT and his alma mater, and a bridge between my hometown, so that more outstanding scholars will come to China and to HEBUT.
