Respect Chinese

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences In 2010, I was on a cultural fact-finding mission. While living as an ex-pat in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, I decided I would like to teach English to Chinese students. I thought it would be a fun, constructive way to spend my extra time while my husband was working. So, I took the challenge! I call this a challenge because I had no prior ESL experience at the time. I soon found that understanding the Chinese culture was going to become a priority. Is sensitivity to the Chinese cultural norms significant in teaching ESL in China?

Culture matters. But, how?...  [Read more]

If one were to argue that Socrates was the beginning of modern Western Civilization, one could easily surmise that that modern Chinese civilization has its roots in the teachings of Confucius.

Kavinna Batra Alumni Experiences There has been a long ongoing debate over parenting styles and about its critical impact on a child's emotional development, academic performance, self-confidence, and the ability to face life's challenges. The debate is mainly between eastern and western cultures. Would a new-age parent prohibit their children from watching television and ask them to choose an extracurricular activity instead? This is something that the author of the bestselling Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (2011), who is also a Chinese professor at Yale Law School forbade her two daughters from doing. Her books compare the differences between American “soft” parenting and Asian parenting. There are two types of parenting styles. The authoritative style, in which parents provide...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Discipline, according to Fields, Perry & Fields, (p.4, 2010) can be regarded as helping the children or students to learn personal responsibility for their behavior and to judge between right and wrong for themselves.

To establish discipline, that is to say, establish guidance, it is vital to take necessary precautions and set up the physical and emotional dimension of the classroom.

It is a phrase that summarizes the education system in vietnam. For many students coming to school means coming from a vivid world into a place where information flows only in one direction; a place where you sit and listen.
