“對我來說，寓教于樂非常重要，學(xué)生們需要把英語學(xué)習(xí)與積極的經(jīng)歷聯(lián)系起來。所以在課堂上，我們盡量以學(xué)生為中心。區(qū)別于傳統(tǒng)的單詞記憶方法，我嘗試將語言帶入生活讓語言“活”起來，同時這也是一種有效的教學(xué)方法，從長遠來看，我們希望學(xué)生們繼續(xù)把學(xué)習(xí)英語與積極的體驗聯(lián)系起來。”

擁有10年中英兩地的英語教學(xué)經(jīng)驗，Chris曾在浙江、廣東、湖南的國際學(xué)校擔任英語講師，細數(shù)10年的教學(xué)生涯，Chris認為寓教于樂非常重要。

With ten years of English teaching experience in China and the UK, Chris believes that entertaining learning styles are essential in teaching.

充滿樂趣的課堂教學(xué)

不僅會激發(fā)學(xué)生們學(xué)習(xí)的意愿

感受語言的魅力

也會讓英語學(xué)習(xí)起到事半功倍的效果

A fun-filled language lesson can make kids learn and have fun simultaneously.

Entertaining

Learning

對Chris來說，課堂上最重要的一點就是生動有趣，他會盡可能引導(dǎo)學(xué)生將英語學(xué)習(xí)與積極的經(jīng)驗聯(lián)系起來。“對我來說，寓教于樂非常重要，學(xué)生們需要把英語學(xué)習(xí)與積極的經(jīng)歷聯(lián)系起來。所以在課堂上，我們盡量以學(xué)生為中心。區(qū)別于傳統(tǒng)的單詞記憶方法，我嘗試將語言帶入生活讓語言‘活’起來，同時這也是一種有效的教學(xué)方法，從長遠來看，我們希望學(xué)生們繼續(xù)把學(xué)習(xí)英語與積極的體驗聯(lián)系起來。”

Chris believes that an element of fun in the classroom is important and he has been trying his best to guide students in relating their English learning to positive experiences. "And so in the classrooms, we do try to make it as student-centered as possible. It"s not along traditional memorisation of words, but we will try and bring the language to life now as well as being an effective method of teaching; we hope that long term, the students will continue to associate learning English with a positive experience."

融學(xué)于趣，其樂融融

斐特思為學(xué)生打造的全天候浸潤式雙語學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境

在潛移默化的實踐中

讓外語教學(xué)變得生動有趣

也讓語言學(xué)習(xí)變得潤物細無聲

FCG also provides students with an all-weather immersion bilingual learning environment.

作為廣州斐特思學(xué)校創(chuàng)校伊始的首批員工，Chris認為斐特思聞名遐邇的歷史是吸引他來到廣州的很大一個因素。"對我來說，在斐特思這樣一所聲名遠揚的學(xué)校工作是一個夢想。"斐特思聘用世界各地有著豐富教學(xué)經(jīng)驗的教師和具有國際教育背景的中國教師，營造多元文化的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，為學(xué)生提供全天候浸潤式雙語習(xí)得環(huán)境，將真正的國際教育的精髓帶給學(xué)生。

As one of the founding members of Fettes College Guangzhou, Chris is proud of the job, " Being from Scotland, it was a dream to be offered a position at such a reputable school. " FCG recruits qualified and experienced expatriate teachers from all over the world. It also absorbs talented local teachers with international education backgrounds to bring true international education to students and provide students with a multicultural learning environment.

//除了老師這一角色，Chris還是一名父親，在斐特思工作期間，他和妻子迎來了他們女兒的降生。

Meanwhile, Chris is also a father of a girl, born during his life at FCG.

作為一名父親，Chris認為學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境對于孩子的成長非常重要，“可以在斐特思這樣的環(huán)境里撫養(yǎng)孩子，我們很高興，這是一個非常好的地方。”良好的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境創(chuàng)造了雙向的果實，學(xué)生們的語言技能在得到提升的同時，老師也從中收獲了成就感。從業(yè)10年，Chris仍充滿激情。談及在中國教學(xué)生涯最大的體驗，Chris首先就用了“Exciting”來形容。

As a father, Chris believes that the learning environment is very important for children"s growth. "We"re very happy. We think it"s a lovely environment to bring up a child." He has been teaching for almost ten years, and he is always passionate. He described his time working in China as an "exciting" experience.

EXCITING & FULFILLING & MEMORABLE

“我覺得這是一次非常充實的經(jīng)歷，因為你看到了實實在在的東西，你的學(xué)生取得了進步，學(xué)生們也總是樂于與你保持聯(lián)系，作為一名教師，這是一段非常有意義的經(jīng)歷，你知道你給你教過的學(xué)生留下了印象。”

"My time teaching in China has been a very fulfilling experience because you see the tangible progress that your students make; students are also very good at keeping in touch with you, so this really makes a rewarding experience as a teacher. You know you"ve left an impression on the students you"ve taught," said Chirs.

而中國極具特色的文化也是吸引他留在國內(nèi)發(fā)展的一大原因，“10年前我第一次來中國的時候，我就愛上了這個國家和文化，這里的人都很熱情好客，還有各種各樣的美食，就連天氣也比蘇格蘭好很多。”說到中國的美食，Chris兩眼放光，特別提到了湖南菜“酸菜魚”，“那是我第一次嘗試中國菜，真的非常、非常辣，但我想，那太棒了，我喜歡這個味道。那時我們每周都會吃一次。”

Also, Chris is very interested in Chinese culture. "The first time I came to China was in 2011, and I fell in love with the country and the culture. The people were so welcoming, the food was delicious, the weather is better than in Scotland. "Among Chinese cuisines, he loves "Suan cai yu" very much. "That was my introduction to Chinese food, which was very, very spicy. And I thought, excellent, I love that. "

對Chris來說，體驗不同文化、不同學(xué)習(xí)和教學(xué)方式非常令人激動。在中國教學(xué)的這十年他過得很充實。“我想說這是令人難忘的。它不僅給我的職業(yè)生活，也給我的個人生活留下了深刻的影響。”

It was very exciting for Chris to experience different cultures and learning styles, and he thought it memorable. "It has left such a deep impact on not only my professional life but also my personal life. And my time living in China has been inntertwined with the jobs I have done and so many memorable experiences inside and outside the school. I would certainly have to say that "memorable" is one of the words that I associate with living and working in China.
