2020/21學年英國語文教育榮譽學士四年級學生梁樂瑤,2017/18學年「準英語教師獎學金」得獎者
以前我一直以為只有精英學生才能獲得獎學金。在2017/18年度獲得「準英語教師獎學金」後,我明白只要做好足夠準備,這樣的機會並非遙不可及。
準備報考香港教育大學(教大)英國語文教育榮譽學士課程時,我在中學內聯網上看到了「準英語教師獎學金」的消息。在母校的幫助下,我成功獲得面試機會。我依稀記得面試問題並沒有太刁鑽,例如其中一條問題提到:「你認為現今香港學生的英語水平,在讀寫聽說那一範疇最弱?作為一名教師,可以怎樣改善這情況?」 在參加了幾輪的面試及遞交相關的文件後,我有幸於2017/18年度獲選。
這獎學金為我解決了學費帶來的負擔,讓我能專心學習。雖然這獎學金需要每年更新,但只要我的平均積點高於三分,並有良好品行便可達標。獎學金的附帶條件是畢業後必須投身教師工作,為期三年,這令我有一個清晰的學習方向及動力。與此同時,我開始探索「我想成為怎樣的教師?」這個問題。而由於課程的所有科目都以培育學生成為準教師作中心,這都能引導我為心中的問題尋找合適的答案。例如在必修課中,我學到了人本教育;在教學法的課堂中,我學到傳統教學方法;其他選修科則鼓勵我跳出思維框架,繼續改善教育系統。在這四年學習過程中,我熟悉了現今香港學校情況和發展的可能性。雖然我不清楚在現實限制下,我能否成為我理想中的教師,但我開始找到屬於我的答案與方向。
