Ms Fay Yu Fexia, Graduate of Master of Arts in Teaching Chinese as an International Language [MATCIL] in 2016/17
In the MATCIL programme, I managed to fill my professional knowledge gap by studying a course on Chinese learning and teaching methods. The course not only provided substantial theoretical knowledge but also offered opportunities for teaching practice. During my teaching internship in the UK, I successfully integrated into the local educational environment. This opportunity facilitated my postgraduate success in obtaining a position in the UK teacher training programme, thus making me an internationally recognised language educator.
The elective IB curriculum training under the programme broadened my professional perspectives. Engaging in a wide variety of academic lectures and insights shared by experienced teachers deepened my understanding of the IB Chinese curriculum. This invaluable experience paved the way for my seamless entry into IBO’s workforce.
I would like to thank my professors for their guidance, which enhanced my academic research abilities and professional skills. This, in turn, enabled me to compete confidently in the fierce global job market and realise my dream of becoming a teacher.
I graduated from EdUHK in 2017
I had teaching placement at the University of Worcester in the UK in 2017
