Chinese Teacher 2

Teacher 2 has taught English to Chinese students for 17 years. She holds a TCFL certificate.

Her teaching role is split in two – Teacher Trainer and Chinese Teacher.

T2 uses a Chinese concept to describe her attitude to teaching students: “因材施教/yin1cai2shi1jiao4“。(Different students, require different teaching methods).

Regarding developments within the TCFL industry, T2 thinks there is a lot of work to be done, and this requires government support.

T2 rarely uses new technology in the classroom. She uses handouts, and may look up translations in advance.

In terms of Professional Development, there is none offered through her current place of work.

T2 prepares one week’s worth of classes in advance.

She thinks that it is important to learn how to write Chinese characters from beginner’s level. She may also use English to explain difficult concepts to beginners.
