As an applicant to apply teaching assistantship, I have worked as a part-time teacher to teach foreigners Chinese in a Language school for three years and as a full-time assistant teacher to assist foreigner professor to teach in ×××(写上工作单位)for half of a year。 Through all of these experiences, I have accumulated the following abilities and literacy which make me have full confidence to be a qualified teaching assistant in your university。
1、Language Ability
When I worked in the Language school, I used English masterly to teach foreign students Chinese and communicate with them freely。 While I work in ×××, actually I play a role of a good interpretor in the class。 The foreign professor is imparting the specialty Knowledge, and I interpreting them into Chinese for the students and tries my best to maintain the professor’s language style and guarantee the veracity of knowledge。
2、Sense of Responsibility
When I taught Chinese, I found although Chinese is my mother language, there was a great difference to speak and to teach。 In class, Chinese is taught as a language course which requires specialty knowledge in this language。 Therefore I spent much time to learn Chinese from aspect of linguistics and culture。
In ×××, I graduate from Donghua University which is the best university in the field of garment and textile, however, garment design is not my major。 In order to make accurate and professional translation,before every class, I will look through the prof’s teaching material and consult him the terms that I can not understand clearly。 After class I will collect the students’ suggestions about that class to improve them in the next class。
3、Multi-cultural perspectives
I taught the language according to the requirements specified in the textbook。At a later time, I recognized that my job also had to do with cultural exchange。 So as to guarantee the validity of my teaching, I came to understand different cultural backgrounds of my students, taught Chinese according to their ways of thinking, perspectives and meanwhile spread Chinese customs and perspectives。
