10月24日，由基础部外语教研室与英语协会联合举办的英语角活动在T2四楼如期开展第一期活动。本次活动吸引了许多本院学生、外籍教师以及来自不同国家留学生们的热情参与，在文化和语言的碰撞中，不仅加深了我院学生的跨文化交流和理解，也为本次活动增添了别样的色彩。
活动以“love”为主题，在主持人的引导下，师生分别用英语分享了自己对这个主题的看法，并结合自己的实际情况讲述了许多与之相关的故事。最后，一场激烈的辩论展开，师生们在交流中敞开心扉，畅所欲言，将本次英语角活动推向了高潮。
作为我院的课余活动之一，英语角以其独特的形式拓宽了文化交流的渠道，让来自不同国家的师生们有机会相聚一堂。活动不仅拓宽了同学们的国际视野，弘扬了家国情怀，还锻炼了他们的英语口语表达能力，增强了他们说英语的自信。在轻松愉快的氛围中，同学们得以锻炼英语表达能力。期待更多的同学积极报名参加英语角活动，在分享和表达的过程中感受不同语言和文化的魅力。
接下来，英语角活动将在每周二晚上19：00-20：30常态化开展。计划主题如下：
周数 | 主题 | 地点 | 外教 | 辅导老师 |
第九周 | Love Everybody loves. Most people have had some firsthand experience they’d like to talk about love. It’s another one of those universal topics that gets the conversation going. Even if it’s not about romantic love and heartbreak, students can talk about familial love with their parents and children, as well as love between friends. Questions like these are good: What is love? Who/what do you love? What good/bad experiences have you had with love? Can you be too young to be in love? Why/why not? How do you feel about love? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 邓静娴、张易 |
第十周 | Goals We all have goals and talking about them actually gets us more encouraged to do something about them. Sharing goals is also a good thing to help get them done. A good set of questions is: What are your current goals in life? How do you plan to reach your goals? How often do you set goals for yourself? What goals have you set and achieved in the past? How do you feel when you reach your goals? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 刘云竹 陈丽 |
第十一周 | Money If there is a topic that everyone loves deep down, it has to be money. People love talking about money. Well, may not if they’re broke—but even if they are, it’s a good, relatable topic that gets conversations going. Great questions include: How well do you manage your money? Why do some people have money problems? What are some good ways to make money? What would you do if I gave you $20/$2,000/$2,000,000? How often do you save money? Why? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 朱靖 |
第十二周 | Plans Everybody makes plans and discussing them could even influence the class to start making plans of their own! A few example questions include: How often do you plan things? Why? What are your plans for (________)? What are your plans for your English? What do you think of this quote? “Having no plan is a plan to fail.” Do you have any back-up plans? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 甘娅杰 肖丹娜 |
第十三周 | Books Books make for a good discussion topic because most people enjoy a good book. When you read, your mind is filled with new images, feelings, ideas and thoughts. Books also empower and educate people, so your adult students may believe in the value of books. It can be immensely satisfying for adult students to share how they feel about reading. Some questions to ask are: Do you like books/reading? Why/why not? What kind of books do/did you like? What is your favorite book? Why? What was the last book you read? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 马美丽 吴敏 |
第十四周 | Sports Now comes a topic that more men may favor, but it’s still good for classes since female spectators are on the rise. Some students may also have children that enjoy sports! A few good examples are: Do you like sports? Why/why not? How often do you exercise/play sports? Did you play any sports as a child? What sport/physical activity is popular in your country? What is your opinion on professional sports? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 马银松 许燕君 |
第十五周 | Movies Like television, talking about movies is a topic that has something to be said by everybody. I mean, who doesn’t watch movies? A few good questions to be asked could be: What was the last movie you saw? How was it? What is your favorite movie? Why? How are the movies in your country? What are the best ones? How often do you watch movies in English? If there were a movie about your life, what kind of movie would it be? Why? | T2-4楼 | 方锦程 | 龙璨婷 |
