3 Director s Note: Under the leadership of Dr. Gary A. Ransdell, who coined Western Kentucky University s (WKU) vision of A leading American University with International Reach, the Confucius Institute at Western Kentucky University (CI at WKU) has adopted a strategy consisting of several phases toward this goal. The first stage was aimed at creating programs for the dissemination of the Chinese language and culture. With no precedent to follow in regards to Chinese language and culture programs, it was a highly important role for the university to create a pipeline of students interested in Chinese language and culture. Thus, Dr. Ransdell developed two distinct programs the development and implementation of the Confucius Institute culminated in February 2010 and officially opened in April 2010, with the other marking the official launch of the Chinese major/ minor within the Department of Modern Languages. The CI at WKU was the pivotal piece, which set things in motion. In February 2010, the CI at WKU became one of over 450 CI's worldwide and one of over 100 CI's in North America. Over the years, the CI at WKU has taken a very deliberate approach in creating a presence and promoting the Chinese language and culture throughout the state of Kentucky. The CI at WKU taps into K-12 schools throughout the state, yielding more students who could potentially attend the Chinese language programs at WKU. The latest data shows the following trends since the 2010/2011 academic year to present: Increased from 11 Chinese Hanban teachers to 42 teachers; Increased the number of school districts from 4 to 17; The number of students registered in the program has increased from 1,600 to over 12,000. One of the motivating factors behind this growth is the attainment of Kentucky Teacher Certification. The CI at WKU partnered with the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences and Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) to establish a platform that assisted 17 of our 33 teachers with the attainment of 5-Year Rank One Kentucky Certification in In the consecutive years, 10 of our teachers were granted certification in the academic year of , with an additional 11 for the academic year of The second phase in disseminating the Chinese language and culture was the establishment of a Chinese Major/Minor at WKU, approved by CPE (Council on Postsecondary Education) in the school year. Over this past year, the program has expanded to a great extent. Presently, over 300 students are enrolled in the Chinese major/minor, and 17 of these students were granted HSK scholarships after successfully passing HSK tests to study in China in The implementation of the Chinese Major/Minor program has greatly facilitated the dissemination of the Chinese language and culture. In addition to these two programs, starting from the academic year, the CI at WKU was instrumental in facilitating the College of Education with the establishment of a 1 plus 2 MTCSOL program to prepare more teachers with becoming certified in the state of Kentucky. This program offers an alternate path for teachers seeking certification, and who potentially foresee finding full time employment in the U.S. in teaching Chinese throughout the state. The CI at WKU is not only interested in being an institute with progressive vision and action, it strives to implement the standards that we set for ourselves. Following these standards, we conduct an evaluation of our performance every year and we take it very seriously. Since the inception, we have evaluated ourselves through the creation of a booklet that outlines our accomplishments. Please see below for some highlights in 2014: Hosted the 3 rd Spring Festival Gala Performance in February, for approximately 500 faculty, staff, students, and community members; Successfully organized an Erhu soloist, Ms. Xiaojun Huo s performance tour in Western Kentucky University, Middle Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee Knoxville and the Confucius Classroom at Bowling Green Housing Authority, as well as Erhu art demonstration and lectures; Led the first ever China Business Management Abroad class in May, in which 16 business students and faculty visited Kentucky companies that were based in China. The trip took the participants to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Xiamen and Taiwan, with its purpose to create a pipeline of internship opportunities for business students who wish to work in China; Led the first ever Understanding China group to China in June, which consisted of school Superintendents, Principals, and school administrators. The trip was designed to give U.S. administrators a glimpse at the teaching styles in China and their differences from that in the U.S., in the hopes of providing school administrators with a vision of how to assist incoming Chinese teachers with the acclimation process to U.S. K-12 settings through training and professional development; Led the largest single group of 19 high school students to Jilin Province (Changchun) in July to attend the Chinese Bridge summer camp; President Ransdell presented to the staff at Hanban/ Confucius Institute Headquarters on the topic of Sustained Leadership at the request of Madame Xu Lin; Over 3,000 students have taken the HSK/HSKK/YCT, among which 17 were awarded scholarships worth a total of $250,000; Hosted the celebration of the 10th anniversary of global Confucius Institutes/Confucius Institute Day on September 27, 2014, jointly with Bowling Green International Festival, and organized a series of Chinese culture demonstrations. On the basis of these achievements, the Confucius Institute at WKU is striving to achieve the following goals in academic year: Build a Model Confucius Institute at WKU; Increase the number of students from 10,800 to 12,000, and to 45,000 by the year 2025; Increase the number of Chinese Hanban volunteer teachers with an increase from 36 to 42, and to 100 by the year 2025; 2

4 院长致辞 Increase the number of teachers enrolled in the 1+2 program and maximize Hanban Teacher Certification Program in Kentucky in collaboration with College of Education and Behavioral Science; Expand the number of Confucius Classrooms from 11 to 20; Prepare over 3,000 WKU and local students for YCT and HSK; Develop and improve Online Cloud-based Curriculum Development to expand coverage of the Chinese language and culture; Launch more Understanding China Programs and summer camps to promote the cultural communication and understanding between U.S. and China. The review of our past achievements allows us to have a clear view of the path we have explored and gives us a chance to prepare for what lies ahead. It is our sincere hope that the CI at WKU will follow this path to the realization of its ultimate goal. Dr. Wei-Ping Pan 西肯塔基大学在 Gary A. Ransdell 校长的领导下, 确立了 建设美国一流国际化大学 的发展目标, 并采取了多步走的战略 建设和规划中国语言和文化推广项目是实现这一目标的第一步 由于之前没有开设过中国语言和文化课程, 所以生源的保障是至关重要的问题 为此,Gary A.

9 Innovative Marketing 创新思路, 全方位推广孔子学院 Chinese Learning Center at the Confucius Institute at WKU The Chinese Learning Center (CLC) was established on May 20, 2011 with a vision of experiencing the Chinese culture without leaving Kentucky. Strategically located at the entrance to the Helm Library, the CLC takes up an area of over 651 square meters (7,000 square feet) and contains seven touch screen videos highlighting Ancient Chinese Science and Technology, Chinese Characters, Famous Philosophers, Paper Cutting, Folk Music, Kung Fu and Chinese cities. The CLC also houses a growing library of books and encyclopedias in both Chinese and English about Chinese history, tea ceremonies, music, food, geography, etc. Thanks to the generous contributions from WKU community, as well as around the world, several revolving show racks stand in CLC to exhibit the gems of Chinese culture. The spacious Community Room which is set up for lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, is equipped with a computer, a screen, and a projector. Over the past two years, the CLC is constantly enriched and expanding with Chinese artifacts and folk arts, which has become an important platform for American citizens to understand China. More than 15,000 students from K-12, University and community individuals visit our CLC every year. 中国文化体验中心已经成为美国民众了解中国的重要窗口西肯塔基大学孔子学院中国文化体验中心 (CLC) 于 2011 年 5 月 20 日正式揭牌, 学生不用离开肯塔基州, 就可以在这里体验到中国文化 中国文化体验中心位于西肯塔基大学 Helm 图书馆的入口处, 占地 651 平方米 ( 折合 7,000 余平方英尺 ), 配有 7 台触摸屏电视, 分别安装了古代科技 汉字演变 诸子问答 中国剪纸 中国民乐 中国功夫和城市变迁等多媒体学习课件 中国文化体验中心拥有丰富的中英双语图书馆藏和百科全书, 包括中国历史 中国茶艺 中国音乐 中国美食 中国地理等书籍 西肯塔基大学社区和世界各地的慷慨赞助者还为中国文化体验中心捐助了艺术品旋转展台 另外, 宽敞的活动场地还配备了计算机 投影仪和大屏幕, 可用于汉语教学 文化讲座和活动示范 两年来, 西肯塔基大学孔子学院中国文化体验中心的中国文化展品不断丰富和扩充, 已经成为美国民众了解中国的重要窗口 每年参观中国文化体验中心的 K-12 年级中小学生 大学生和社区人士达 15,000 余人 8

10 CI Mobile Unit The Chinese Cultural Experience The state of Kentucky consists of 120 counties, 174 school districts, and 1,233 public schools (excluding private schools) with 647,827 students enrolled, which gives the possibility for further promotion of the CI program. The concern is that the further away from WKU, the fewer individuals in the state of Kentucky know about WKU, and least about the CI program. Thus, the purpose of the Confucius Institute Mobile Unit The Chinese Cultural Experience is to establish a new innovative and economic unit, which will be transported strategically throughout the state of Kentucky to promote the Chinese language and culture. With partial support from Hanban/ Confucius Institute Headquarters, the CI at WKU purchased a 40 x 13 x 10 (ft) mobile home that has been converted to a Chinese museum on wheels. Inside the CI mobile unit, it is divided into 6 compartments, including Musical Instruments, Facts/Holidays, Chinese Calligraphy, Arts/Crafts, Wellness/ Games, and Costumes. Since September 2013 when CI at WKU unveiled the CI mobile unit Chinese Cultural Experience, it has visited more than 100 locations throughout the state, where more than 5,000 students, parents, administrators, and community members have had an opportunity to experience the Chinese language and culture aboard the mobile. The mobile has attracted great interest from local school districts, as a result of which, more and more new school districts are applying for Chinese language and culture programs at CI at WKU. 大胆创新, 敢于实践, 打造中国文化移动体验肯塔基州有 120 个县,174 个学区,1,233 个公立学校 ( 不含私立学校 ), 中小学生 647,827 人, 因此, 中国语言和文化推广项目在这里有很大的发展空间 但是, 离西肯塔基大学越远的地区, 往往知道孔子学院的人就越少 为了以一种新颖节俭的方式在肯塔基州巡回推广中国语言和文化, 西肯塔基大学孔子学院开创性地打造了 中国文化体验移动车 该 中国文化体验移动车 由 3.96 米 (13 英尺 ) 宽 米 (40 英尺 ) 长 3.05 米 (10 英尺 ) 高的可移动式房车经过改装而成 其内部包含 6 个中国文化主题单元, 分别是音乐和乐器主题单元 中国标志和中国节日主题单元 中国书法主题单元 中国艺术品和手工艺品主题单元 中国健身和游戏主题单元 中国传统服饰主题单元 该 中国文化体验移动车 自 2013 年 9 月在美国首届孔子学院联席会议期间正式亮相和运营以来, 已经走访了 100 多所学校,5,000 余名学生通过 中国文化体验移动车 亲身体验了中国语言和文化, 引起了当地学区对中国语言和文化的极大兴趣 目前, 越来越多的新学区正在申请加入西肯塔基大学孔子学院的汉语言文化推广项目 WKU imedia Project In collaboration with Western imedia, the CI at WKU features a special news bulletin which gives a multifaceted and detailed look into Confucius Institutes around the globe by employing vivid graphic designs with embedded mobileaccessed digital pictures and video articles. The 9 panels in the bulletin provide an in-depth explanation of the development of CI around the globe, as well as many touching stories in CI programs worldwide. Just scan any one panel by using a smartphone or tablet camera; audiences can enjoy a great interactive experience of the augmented-reality (AR) overlay technology, which promotes a dynamic audience engagement of news report. The project consists of facts interweaved with narratives from many different perspectives.

Western imedia is exploring the use of a new technology, which will allow the story to expand in a new and exciting arena. They are seeking to create virtual classroom experiences, which will allow individuals to visually see inside a Chinese classroom through an immersive media experience. This technology utilizes a pair of innovate glasses, channeling smartphone device lenses that allows the audience to see the classroom in a real live 360 degree setting. The technology is user friendly, and allows for audio recordings for narratives. Virtual reality is now more accessible to more people, and will continue to spread the story and CI branding through other forms of media. 与新闻媒体合作, 树立孔子学院品牌形象与西肯塔基大学西部传媒 (imedia) 合作, 专题新闻报道 走进孔子学院 通过在生动形象 图文并茂 可视化的展板上附加可移动访问的数字视频画面, 多角度详细地宣传推广全球孔子学院 9 块展板深入地反映了世界孔子学院的发展状况和许多汉语教学中的动人故事 通过智能手机或平板电脑的应用程序将摄像头对准展板, 观众可以体验现实增强叠加技术实现的交互环境, 从而提高新闻报道的动态感和现场感 2013 年 5 月以来, 该专题新闻报道曾在西肯塔基大学博物馆 中国国家汉办 / 孔子学院总部 2013 年美国孔子学院联席会议和 2013 年第八届孔子学院大会展出, 约 25,000 余人参观了展览 2014 年西部传媒 ((imedia) 又探索应用了更新的技术, 这些新技术将以一种更加新颖的方式报道孔子学院 西部传媒 (imedia) 正在着手采用新技术建立虚拟教室环境, 从而通过沉浸式媒体体验让用户置身于可视化的汉语教室 该技术采用了一副创新眼镜, 镜片可以与智能手机设备通信, 以便让用户看到一个真实的教室环境 新技术采用了友好的用户界面, 并且允许对讲述人进行录音 目前, 虚拟现实技术越来越多地走进了人们的生活, 其将通过多种媒体形式进一步宣传孔子学院, 树立孔子学院的品牌形象 9

20 Teachers' Perspective: Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile 西肯塔基大学孔子学院 中国文化体验移动车 感人趣事 From the eyes of Haibin Teng, volunteer Chinese teacher Haibin Teng, one of the volunteer Chinese teachers at the CI at WKU during the 2013/2014 academic year, and was the teacher responsible of the Chinese Cultural Experience as a Chinese culture guide to many of the places the mobile visited in Kentucky. It was aboard the unit where many true and touching stories took place, which moved her into reflection on her experiences. Teng shared some of his true and heartwarming stories from his visits: 国际汉语教师志愿者滕海彬讲述 中国文化体验移动车 上发生的故事滕海彬曾是西肯塔基大学孔子学院 学年度的国际汉语教师志愿者, 其间作为中国文化向导跟随 中国文化体验移动车 去了肯塔基州的很多地方, 在那里发生的很多故事令其感动 促其思考 让其坚定 请随着下面的镜头感受 中国文化体验移动车 上的真实故事 Episode one: My close friend and partner 57-year-old Martin Cohron Martin Cohron, whose name is translated into Chinese as Kong Maoting, was also my partner on board of the Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile. In my eyes, Martin has a strong passion for Chinese language and culture and he is also a good instructor to promote the Chinese cultures. Martin s last name in Chinese happens to be the same as Confucius s last name in Chinese this makes him very proud of himself. Whenever we visited schools, I was responsible on the mobile unit to explain different cultural experiences to students while Martin was responsible for the entire team to get on and off the mobile unit. For many times the students first sentence was actually to greet me in Chinese Hello, teacher Teng, or Hello, teacher Summer, which was actually taught by Martin as he organized students. On some occasions when there were more classes to visit the Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile than I could handle, Martin would assume the role of a teaching partner and passionately shared his point of view with students in regards to Chinese language and culture. Seeing that this almost 60-yearold American man was filled with love of the Chinese culture, and feeling the kind of pride and sincerity when he shared his understanding of the Chinese culture and the stories between him and his Chinese colleagues, I could not but feel deeply moved. Martin s dream is to be able to go to China practically to feel the atmosphere of China, so that he will be able to share more vivid description of China with American children when he goes on school visit trips. As luck would have it, in August 2014, his dream came true! 镜头一 : 我的忘年交好朋友和搭档,57 岁的 Martin Cohron Martin Cohron, 中文名叫孔茂庭, 是我在 中国文化体验移动车 上的搭档, 但在我眼中, 他更是中国语言和文化的热爱者和很好的讲解员, 他时常为自己能和孔老夫子 同姓 而自豪 每当我们走访学校的时候, 我负责在车上为学生们进行讲解并让他们亲身体验每个文化单元,Martin Cohron 则负责在车外整队并带学生按次序上车 很多次学生上车后的第一句话竟是用中文跟我打招呼 你好, 滕老师, 你好,Ms. Summer, 这些都是 Martin Cohron 在整队时教给他们的 有时上车参观的班级特别多, 我前一个班还没讲完, 后面一个班已经上来了, 这时候他会担任起临时讲解员的角色, 讲解得有声有色 看着这位年近花甲的美国老人眼神中充满着对中国文化的热爱, 在平时聊天中经常说起他对中国文化的理解以及他和中国朋友之间发生过的故事, 那种真诚让我深深地感动 他的梦想就是能够去中国切实地感受一下中国的氛围, 这样他就可以在移动车上更加生动鲜活地给美国的孩子们讲述这个东方大国的昨天和今天 终于,2014 年的 8 月, 他的梦想实现了! Episode Two: Students with special needs The Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile at CI at WKU visited many schools in the past year and I was truly impressed by some school teachers who were teaching eight- or nine-yearold kids with special needs. When students visited the mobile museum in a group of 3 to 5, in most situations they would be under some kind of stress and resistance since they were put to face strangers in a new environment. It was lucky that I was informed of this situation in advance and was thus prepared. At the beginning of the tour, the students were very timid and shy during my explanation of Chinese cultures. So I tried to encourage them by smiling at them and telling them that they 19

21 can do it, and that they were awesome. Gradually, they forgot about their fear and started trying new things such as wearing crown costumes, playing saucers, studying calligraphy brushes, and experiencing therapeutic cupping and massage hammers. They also tried many other activities such as playing traditional Chinese musical instruments, using chopsticks, playing with Chinese toys (diabolo, roll hoop, hacky sacks, shadow puppets, rattles, kites, etc.), and so on. I remember once a child came one morning to the mobile museum four times each time he was reluctant to leave so that his teacher had to take him off the mobile through soft cajole and explanation of logical thinking. Whenever I met with children with special needs, I could not help thinking about issues related to their education and teachers, even more so, the education of Chinese culture outside of China. Perhaps in some ways these children may be handicapped physically or mentally: they might be hard of hearing, but they understood smiles meant friendship; they might have blurred vision, but they learned to connect by emotions and feeling. With the help of individualized attention, patience, careful planning, and teaching, all students could be immersed in Chinese culture and language, and to feel the generosity and joy. 镜头二 : 那些接受 特殊教育 的孩子西肯塔基大学孔子学院 中国文化体验移动车 一年来走访了很多学校 印象非常深刻的是由学校老师带队来的一些接受 特殊教育 的八 九岁的孩子们 他们大概 3-5 人一组, 对于陌生的人和环境, 大多会表现出某种程度上的抵触 在他们来之前, 学校负责人提前告诉了我他们的情况 在刚开始的讲解和体验中, 他们很胆怯, 但是我用微笑告诉他们说, 他们完全可以, 他们很棒 慢慢地, 在后面的文化单元中他们积极地参与了进来, 争先恐后地去试戴皇冠 试穿花盆底 学习毛笔握笔姿势 体验拔罐 按摩捶 尝试各种中国传统乐器 学习用筷子 玩中国玩具 ( 空竹 滚铁环 毽子 皮影 拨浪鼓 风筝 ) 等等 记得有一次, 一个孩子一上午到车上来了四次, 每次都不愿意下去, 他们的负责老师只能哄着 讲着道理将他带回教室去 每当见到这些孩子, 我都会不由自主地去思考有关他们的教育和教师问题, 以及中国文化在海外的教育问题 眼前这些孩子或许在生理和心理上存在着某些方面的不足, 他们或许听不到, 但他们懂得微笑是友善 他们或许看不清, 但他们懂得用心去感受 因材施教, 加上用心 耐心 细心, 他们会沉浸在中国文化的海洋中, 感受包容和快乐 Episode Three: American students were fired up! Kong Fanrong, a volunteer teacher who taught Chinese in the U.S. for 3 years says, when the Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile went to Olmstead elementary school, the American students were totally fired up! Students were very curious about items in the Mobile, such as Chinese traditional musical instruments. When I taught these things before in class, I could only show them photos of the instruments. But after all, they were not real and did not have the same quality of feel to it. However, now they could actually see and feel them. Same thing went to Chinese arts and crafts. On the mobile museum there were a variety of new gadgets that students could actually experience and truly understand the meaning of Chinese traditional cultures. Students were eager to try on traditional Chinese costumes from various dynasties and took pictures with their cellphones to share with each other. When I looked at these blond American children wearing traditional Chinese ethnic costumes, speaking the Chinese language, having this bright smile on their faces, my heart was filled with great pleasure and gratification for being able to help the spread of Chinese language and culture. The Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile provided real life connections for my school to be fired up. Now the whole school is swept with Chinese wind. 镜头三 : 美国学生沸腾了国际汉语教师志愿者孔繁荣已经是第三年在美国教汉语了, 当 中国文化体验移动车 来到孔繁荣老师所在的 Olmstead 小学时, 美国学生沸腾了 学生们对移动车里的一切都感到非常好奇, 像中国传统乐器, 我在上课的时候给学生们展示过照片, 但毕竟没有真实的生动直观 还有中国艺术品和手工艺品主题单元中展示的各种新奇的小玩意儿, 学生们更是爱不释手, 都想实际操作体验, 在游戏中体会中国传统文化的意境和内涵 学生们争相试穿着中国传统服饰主题单元里的中国各朝代和民族传统服饰, 并拿出手机互相拍照留念 看着金发碧眼的美国孩子身上穿着中国民族的传统服饰, 嘴里说着汉语, 脸上露出灿烂的微笑, 作为一名传播汉语言文化的使者, 我的内心感到无比的喜悦与欣慰 是中国文化体验移动车让学校里刮起了中国风 孔繁荣老师如是说 Episode four: those who say "I Love China" students Mind the steps, and goodbye! A team of kindergarten children had finished visiting the Chinese Cultural Experience Mobile and was about to get off when a boy with blond hair walked to me with open arms to give me a hug: I Love China! Although he was not even tall enough to reach my waistline, his blue eyes were beaming with sincerity. These kindergartners might not be old enough to even walk straight, but they showed great interest and sincerity when they tried Chinese tea, writing brush, and tai-chi fans. Today s experience is over. Thank you! I wish you a pleasant trip to China. Bye! I addressed to a group of high school and college students who already had a strong Chinese language foundation and were getting ready to a Chinese summer camp soon. Several students asked, Can you buy this cow bottle in China? as they circled around different Chinese culture pieces. Many of them said that they would want to bring several Chinese culture items back to the United States because they were not only beautiful but also contained rich cultural meanings. They said: Thank you, teacher. Goodbye! I Love China. I love China! By now their China trip was over. As they returned to the United States and shared their Chinese culture experience, it was probably a lot more like what we were doing on the mobile museum - rounding up small groups of friends to share the Chinese language and culture. Probably now they also brought their own cow bottles from China and put them in front of their desks. It is truly an honor as the Chinese volunteer teachers to hear students say "love" China. Because we know that we opened the door for our students to not only understand Chinese culture, but also to understand China s past, present and future. And we also know our youth is closely connected with our motherland! The Confucius Institute at Western Kentucky University is thriving in its growth, and the volunteer teachers on staff are also learning and growing. Witnessing Dr. Pan s and Ms. Yu s pursuit of efficiency with high work ethics, they learned many new ways of doing things. Mr. Terrill Martin, a gentleman who was always there and eager to help, many other American friends who gave us a lot of help, together with different responses from 20

22 inevitable cultural communication and conflicts all taught us newly graduates from universities and colleges, and youngsters travelling abroad to learn and grow. Although we had to switch roles from student s to the teacher s once we arrived in America, the role exchanges also enhanced and increased our sense of responsibility and mission. This experience in America has served as our catalyst for personal growth. No matter what we will do in the future, we will always reflect about this invaluable experience. We will always hold up this momentum of the youth, because our youth is closely connected to our motherland! As President Gary A. Ransdell pointed out, WKU is striving toward A leading American university with International Reach and CI is the source and motivation of this internationalization which push every field of WKU toward this process of internationalization. With a model CI being a major project of WKU, the whole university is exerting great effort in the selection of the location of the building, construction design and program development in an aim to win the approval of Hanban/CI headquarters. In the future, it is our sincere wish that we can continue our close cooperation between the two parties, strive to develop more extensive cooperative fields, and to further maintain the sustainable development of CI at WKU. In conclusion, identifying our accomplishments allows us to clearly see our path and ensures that we are on the right trajectory for accomplishing our ultimate goal. 镜头四 : 那些说 I Love China 的学生 小心台阶, 再见! 一队幼儿园的小朋友参观体验完中国文化正准备下车, 一个长着一头金色卷发的小男孩走到我前面, 张开双手给我一个拥抱说 : I Love China! 他仰着头还不及我的腰身高, 蓝色的眼眸中闪烁着真诚 可以说这些孩子走路还没走稳, 但是他们品茶时却是那么有滋有味, 他们运笔时那么有板有眼, 他们玩太极扇时那么有模有样 今天的体验到此结束了, 谢谢你们! 祝你们在中国过得愉快, 再见! 他们是即将去中国参加夏令营的高中生和大学生, 有一定的中文基础 这个在中国的哪里可以买到? 几个学生围着一个牛樽问道 他们说一定要带一个回美国 ; 他们还说要带很多中国的东西回美国, 因为它们不仅美观, 而且还蕴含着丰富的文化内涵 他们说 : 谢谢老师, 再见,I Love China, 我爱中国! 如今他们的中国之行结束了, 我想他们回到美国时一定还会像在我们的中国文化体验移动车上那样, 三五成群地讲述着关于中国语言和文化的见闻感受 我想属于他们自己的 牛樽 或许已经摆在了他们的书桌前 学生口中述说的这份 爱, 在我们国际汉语教师志愿者这个群体的心中是一份无上的荣誉 因为我们知道, 我们打开了一扇门, 让我们的学生可以去理解中国文化, 去认识中国的过去 现在和未来 ; 我们知道, 我们的青春与祖国息息相关! 西肯塔基大学孔子学院在茁壮成长, 我们也在与她的相处中不断成长 在工作上追求效率的潘伟平院长和于圣惠女士, 教会了我们很多处理事情的方法 ; 有绅士风度的 Terrill Martin 先生, 还有很多热心帮助我们的美国朋友, 以及在文化的交流与碰撞中所产生的化学反应, 让我们这些初出校园 走出国门的年轻人在学习中不断成长 由学生到老师的角色转换, 更是让我们的责任感和使命感不断增强 回国后, 这段经历是让我们迅速成长的催化剂 不论做什么, 我相信我们都会一如既往地坚持那份青春向上的力量, 因为我们的青春与祖国息息相关!

23 Parents' Perspective - Fuzzy: An Amazing Panda 西肯塔基大学孔子学院学生家长故事讲述 - Fuzzy, 神奇的玩具熊猫 Fuzzy entered our lives about 6 months ago. He's 11 inches tall, is white with black eyes and wears a traditional Chinese outfit. But most importantly, Fuzzy is my 7 year old's prized possession. He won Fuzzy when the Chinese school held "the year of the horse" drawing contest. Now, no activity is complete until it's shared with Fuzzy! Before I tell you about Fuzzy's adventures, I must first express my deep gratitude to the Chinese school for its involvement in helping teach my grade school children Chinese. What an amazing opportunity! My children have not only learned about the language, but also, the country's customs and songs. For instance, take the "year of the horse" contest. After researching the different elements involved with this holiday, my son excitedly drew his poster in which he tried to incorporate all of those aspects of the Chinese New Year. My children speak so fondly about Jerry who is their Chinese teacher. He's a rock star! The kids all yell out "Ni hao Jerry!" whenever they see him in the hallways. Jerry makes Chinese class a treat and my children look forward to it during the school day. Fuzzy, our Chinese panda, is so special to my son, I think, since he won Fuzzy himself and because he is so cute. It is now the norm to have Fuzzy eat dinner with us or need his own kiss goodnight. Fuzzy even has opinions on certain occasions, which you would think would be unusual for a panda bear! We decided that Fuzzy needed his own Instagram account to capture his daily adventures as the world's smartest panda. The idea truly originated because I would find Fuzzy "snuggled under blankets" or "watching the ipad" or "playing with our guinea pigs" all posed by my 7 year old. It delights me to see how his imagination is captured by something so simple! Please follow us on Instagram: fuzzyandelvis. (Elvis is my daughter's rabbit who wanted in on the fun). You may be surprised to see what a Chinese panda can do! Fuzzy 是一个玩具熊猫, 大约在 6 个月前进入我们的生活 它 11 英寸高 外表为黑白两色, 大大的黑眼圈, 身着中国传统服饰 但最重要的是, 我 7 岁的儿子将 Fuzzy 视为珍宝 这是他在参加西肯塔基大学孔子学院举办的 马年 绘画比赛时赢得的奖品 现在, 无论参加什么活动, 他都要带上 Fuzzy 在讲述 Fuzzy 的趣事之前, 首先我要深深地感谢西肯塔基大学孔子学院对孩子们学习汉语提供的帮助 这对孩子们来说是一次难得的机会 我的孩子不仅学习了汉语, 还学习了中国习俗和中国歌曲 在参加 马年 绘画比赛中, 我儿子通过研究中国节日的不同特点, 满怀激情地绘制了他的海报作品, 并将中国春节文化融入其中 我的孩子每当谈起他们的汉语老师 -Jerry 时, 都非常自豪 Jerry 是一个摇滚明星! 每当孩子们在走廊里见到他时, 都会大喊 Jerry, 你好! Jerry 的汉语课堂快乐有趣, 已经成为孩子们每天期待的课程 Fuzzy 对我儿子来说具有特殊的意义, 这不仅缘于 Fuzzy 是他自己赢得的奖品, 更因为 Fuzzy 非常可爱 每次吃饭时我儿子都要带上 Fuzzy, 晚上睡觉前还要亲吻一下 Fuzzy 甚至在某些场合, 还要 Fuzzy 发表意见, 可能你会认为这样对待一个玩具熊猫有些不可思议 我们认为, 作为世界上最聪明的熊猫,Fuzzy 需要有自己的 Instagram 相册帐户, 以记录其每天的冒险经历 我之所以会产生这个想法, 是因为我经常看到 Fuzzy 有时 蜷伏在毛毯下, 有时 观看 ipad, 有时 与我们的几内亚猪玩耍, 这些都是我 7 岁儿子给 Fuzzy 摆出的姿势 通过这一简单的玩具, 竟然可以充分发挥我儿子的想象力, 这令我感到很兴奋 请关注我们的 Instagram 相册帐户 :fuzzyandelvis (Elvis 是我女儿的玩具兔子, 它也想与你分享乐趣 ) 你一定会为中国熊猫的故事感到惊讶! 22
