林明泽
专业:国际英语教学硕士
就业指引:公立小学英语教师
2022年慶應義塾汶州大學研究生代表團
自2020年开始,设立珠海研究生专业,今年，他毕业于温肯的第一个硕士学位。林明泽是其中之一。在研读温肯国际英语教学之前,他一直担任耶斯斯大学助理教授.追求成为一名全职英语教师的梦想,他两年前向温肯递交了申请书。2年后，他成功如愿，我即将成为公立小学的英语老师。
在他看来,在温肯两年的学习不仅给了他收入和想法,而且使他真正进入“教育”领域,并使他成为“教育者”。
摆脱未知的恐惧,进入教学领域
虽然他已经在雅思担任助理教授两年了,但他从来没有真正系统地学会了如何做教学工作。 他心里充满了不确定和怀疑,他是否能成为任何名字的教师。
然而，温肯的课程使他在这个领域很出色。在“教育法”这个课中,教授们会对他的设计提出很多问题.刚开始的时候，林明泽在教学材料设计方面相对敏感,教授将指导他合理地思考每个模块的设计原因和目的。
在学校的联系下，林明泽就读于温州小学,教孩子们阅读英语图画.在上课前，教授们会帮助他设计讲座,为学生提供一个书架,达到学习的终极目标。在每次课后，林明泽将与教授们进行总结,思考每个课的教学效果.在前往贵州分公司的过程中,他认识到，教学不仅把教育资源带到山区的孩子们身上,它也形成一个服务学生意识.为温肯的本科生提供高级英语课程,它也是研究生课程实践的一部分。如果小学的孩子把注意力集中在启蒙思想上,本科课程更注重发展研究和应用知识的能力。
渐渐地,林明泽在实践中找到了合适的教学方法,摆脱了对未知领域恐惧,并培养出成为一名优秀的教师的自信。
与世界联系起来,打开未来之窗
温肯的国际教学哲学和资源也给林明泽留下了深刻的印象。
林明泽说，文肯研究生学习框架是一个基于项目的学习模型,真正使学生能够理解和习惯应用知识于实践。温肯还提倡批判性思维,这是与其他大学的区别。批判性思维主张我们从更全面和客观的角度看待问题。尊重每个人和世界的多样性,这使林梅塞尔对问题的看法发生了重大变化。
温肯教授来自世界各地,教授们因此成为林梅塞尔的世界窗口.课下，教授们将与林明泽谈谈他们世界各地的教学经验,分享不同文化背景的教学技巧。再者，通过与教授的交流,它真正培养了林梅泽的自主学习意识.在温肯，教授会不断提醒你，需要课前阅读，鼓励你继续问问题,课下复习，反思并总结。如果有疑问，你可以继续问问题并自己寻找答案。这些过程，可能很多人都知道，但温肯的教授将使它发挥作用。这也使林明泽对学校的“学生中心”教学哲学有了真正的感知。另外，文肯图书馆资源还包括许多外国文献资源和数据库,林梅泽随时可以阅读和写论文。
从个人兴趣出发,开始学习
在温肯，教授们鼓励大家从个人利益出发,选择自己的课题。」 「學生的意識與態度 toward peer editing」。在这个课题中，学生们需要完成他们最后的写作课,把你的作业交给你的同事重新考虑.林明泽需要收集学生对这种教学方法的经验。经过广泛的采样和分析,得出结论，这些教学方法是否适合家庭教室.
通过对课题的不断研究，林明泽也对如何进行教学工作有了更深的认识。未来，他将自己的职业方向规划为成为一名小学英语教师。目前，林明泽已经通过相关考试，我即将成为公立小学的英语老师。
从“小白人”教学到教学工作都有深远的经验和丰富的实践经验,在温肯，林明泽完成了一个改变人生的角色,不仅获得专业知识,也认识了良师益友，他说，温肯给了他人生的价值.今后，他也将采取坚定的步骤,直接去他喜欢的教育工作。
Lin Mingze: Postgraduate Studies are Hard but Sweet with Dreams
WKU started the master's degree program in 2020 and has its first class of master’s graduates this year. Lin Mingze is one of them. Before he enrolled in WKU’s Instruction and Curriculum (M.A.) program, he worked as an IELTS teaching assistant. In his view, two-year study at WKU has not only enabled him to learn and reflect but also brought him into the realm of “education” and turned him into an “educator”. Currently, he succeeded in becoming an English teacher at a publicelementary school.
Escape the Fear of the Unknown and Enter the Realm of Teaching
Despite having worked as an IELTS teaching assistant for two years, Lin Mingze had hardly learned how to teach systematically. There were many unknowns and doubts in his mind as to whether he would be a competent teacher.
However, the curriculum of WKU is well set up to bring him into the field. In the course “Methods for Teaching English Language Learners in ESL/EFL Settings: Standards-Based Approach”, the professors would ask many questions about the lesson plans he had designed. In the beginning, he was relatively emotional but the professors would guide him to think rationally about the reasons and purposes of each module’s design.
With the assistance of the university, he went to Wenzhou Yingcai Primary School to give lessons by reading English picture books. Before the class, Lin would sort out the design of the teaching plan together with his professors and provide the learning scaffolds for the students. After the class, he also summarized with the professors and reflected on the effectiveness of each lesson. When he devoted himself to supporting education in Guizhou, he realized that teaching is not only about introducing educational resources to the rural areas but also about providing service for the students. Giving intensive English courses to undergraduate students is also part of the practice of the graduate program. If lessons for primary school children focus on enlightenment thinking, lessons for undergraduates give more importance to developing research and application know-how.
By practice, Lin gradually found his own teaching method, got rid of the fear of the unknown, and built up the confidence to become a qualified teacher.
Connect with the World and Open the Windows to the Future
WKU’s international teaching philosophy and resources also left a deep impression on Lin Mingze.
According to Lin, the postgraduate program accords with the model of project-based learning, allowing students to comprehend and get used to applying their knowledge to practice. WKU also has a strong emphasis on critical thinking, which sets it apart from other universities and brought about a great change in Lin’s way of thinking.
The professors of WKU come from all over the world, which opens a window for Lin to know more about the world. In extracurricular time, they would talk with him about their experiences of teaching around the world and share tips on teaching in different cultural contexts. The interaction with the professors has cultivated his sense of independent learning. They also constantly reminded students to read before class and encouraged them to keep asking questions as well as review, reflect and summarize after class. They gave Lin a real sense of the school's "student-centered" teaching philosophy. In addition, WKU Library has served rich literature resources and databases, which was convenient for him to access data and write papers at any time.
Start with Personal Interest and Pursue a Career in Education
At WKU, the professors encourage students to choose their topics from their interests. The research topic Lin chose is “Students' perceptions and attitudes toward peer editing”. In this project, students were required to edit each other’s assignments after the writing lesson. Besides, Lin needed to collect the perceptions of students with such a teaching style. After an abundant number of samples were analyzed, conclusions were finally drawn as to whether such a teaching style was applicable in China's class.
Through continuous research on the subject, Lin has also gained a deeper understanding of how to carry out his teaching work. He planned to become a primary school English teacher in the future. Currently, he has passed the relevant examinations and is about to become an English teacher in a public primary school.
From a teaching green hand to an educator with profound feelings and rich practical experiences, Lin Mingze has realized the role’s transition at WKU. Meanwhile, he acquired the knowledge and met good mentors and friends. He addressed that WKU has endowed him with an essential value of life. In the future, he will also take firm steps to pursue his passion for education.
