2013年3月25日晚7点，九游会平台为外教开设的中文课程于励耘楼A107开始第一次授课。此课程面向全校外籍教师，由外院王依宁老师、王燕老师🕯、高原老师和张敏丽老师负责教学。课程覆盖面较广🕍，包括拼音基础🧑🏿🦲、日常交流用语的学习和个人情感的表达🧑🏼💻。外教通过学习此门课程🤵🏽，可以用中文进行日常交流，这将有利于他们在中国更好地进行沟通。
课前，王依宁老师先是与外教们简单地用中文交流了一番😓，许多外教表示在此之前没有学过中文。而外教Ms. Sarah Tillman仅用了一年时间学中文，现在已经基本可以听懂中文并且回答了。后来，有一名外教走了进来，用中文的“你好，朋友”跟老师👛、同学打了招呼👩🦯➡️。在介绍环节，王燕老师以教学的方式做了自我介绍🐥，让人感觉印象深刻又受益匪浅。
在拼音基础中首先学到的是23个声母，一开始许多外教都还不太习惯拼音的读法🤽🏿♀️。期间👯，外教Mr. Andrew Chun建议用与字母相关的汉字来练习读音，因为他觉得单独练习字母读音没有画面感，很难记✡︎。王依宁老师采纳了这个建议，在学习字母的时候也加入了一些简单的相关词汇，使得原本对外教来说有些抽象的知识变得更生动易接受，也扩充了他们的词汇量。这正是教学相长的一个体现📕。
大部分外教是中文初学者🪆，但他们非常勤学好问👨🏻🦳。课后2️⃣，王依宁老师提到，讲授这些对她来说很自然的知识似乎没想象中那么容易，好在有了第一节课的经验以及课上课下“同学们”的建议，她基本摸索出了比较合适的教学方法。当记者跟外教们道别时，有一名外教用中文的“再见”做回应，脸上洋溢着一种学以致用的自豪🙆🏽♂️。
SFL Offered the Chinese Course for Foreign Teachers
By SHEN Xiaoqian
At 7p.m on March 25th , the School of Foreign Languages started the first Chinese class for foreign teachers in Room A107 in Liyun Building. The course is available to all foreign teachers in BNUZ. It would be taught by Ms. Wang Yining, Ms. Wang Yan, Ms. Gao Yuan and Ms. Zhang Minli. The course would cover the basic introduction of Pinyin, daily communication and expressions of feelings, through which foreign teachers could make better communication in China.
Before the class, Ms. Wang Yining knew that many foreign teachers had not yet learned Chinese, and Ms. Sarah Tillman could have daily communication in Chinese by a year of learning. Then a foreign teacher came in with “Ni hao, peng you”, a way of greeting in Chinese. Ms. Wang Yan made her self-introduction in a teaching style, which was impressive and informative.
At the beginning of Pinyin learning, some foreign teachers couldn’t grasp the proper pronunciation. Mr. Andrew Chun raised a suggestion to combine the Pinyin with the related Chinese character, which could be more visual. Ms. Wang Yining tried this new way and found that the class was easier to sink in. It was a good illustration of the saying that teaching benefits teacher and students alike.
After class, Ms. Wang Yining said Pinyin seemed so native to her, which instead made the teaching more difficult than she had expected. Thanks to the first class and the suggestions given by these foreign “students”, she had found out a suitable method. When leaving the classroom, one of the foreign teachers responded in Chinese to say goodbye, beaming with pride.
