Seven Students Volunteer as Chinese Teachers at Ain Shams University, Egypt
Having gone through the examinations and training sessions held by the Confucius Institute Headquarters of China, seven students from the Department of Chinese Language and Culture, Yang Jinling, Yang Xiaoqian, Li Qingyi, Chen Xiaoting, Xu Yahui, Chen Lei and Zeng Ying, as the first group of volunteers from the South China Business College, started their journey in February, 2019 as Chinese teachers at Ain Shams University in Egypt.
Apart from teaching Chinese language, they will also assist in the daily operation of the Confucius class at Ain Shams University. On March 26, 295 Chinese learners sat the first HSK (Chinese proficiency test) and HSKK (Chinese speaking test) exams at the University with the seven volunteers as invigilators or handling exam-related affairs.
According to Yang Jinling, being a volunteer Chinese teacher was a great honor but it also entailed the huge responsibility of disseminating Chinese culture. She would join other volunteers in the effort of building a cultural bridge between China and Egypt for the Chinese learners at the University to help them get to know more about China and fall in love with the country. Through this effort, they would present to the world a real, three-dimensional, diverse, charming country that is China.
It is reported that a total of 14 students have passed the examinations held by the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) of China. The other seven students will volunteer as Chinese teachers in Egypt, Thailand, and Nepal after they have gone through their standardized training sessions.
