BA in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language

During this 10-week internship, we have met a bunch of lovely kids and sincere friends on this foreign but enthusiastic soil. It was a challenging duty but also interesting and rewarding. We have learned much about the daily life and communication of Spain-born Chinese students from everyday interaction. It helped us fine-tune our teaching plan to cater for their specific learning needs by applying the theories we have learned to first-hand teaching.

今年盛夏，我走到北京實習，只因畢業後不會再有機會，容讓我「任性」下去。於是，我便把握這次機會，到文博機構實習。我很榮幸來到恭王府實習，老師時常帶我們到不同景點進行考察和提供體驗傳統手工藝的機會，包括：銅胎掐絲琺瑯（景泰藍）、拓印和平復帖等。
