　　After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, a group of expatriate Chinese teachers chose to stay abroad and opened an online teaching mode, so that Chinese school children can continue to learn Chinese during the suspension.

　　Assigned teachers join the army of "net courses"

　　"I have been teaching online for more than 3 months. I have been used to teaching, arranging homework and correcting homework every day on the computer screen," said Guo Yanmei, a Chinese teacher from Mongolian Overseas Chinese Mongolian Friendship School.

　　"I have tried all the software such as Dingding, WeChat, Zoom, and the class butler. The network here is unstable, and sometimes I will record the course in advance and send it to the students." Guo Yanmei told reporters that since the Internet class began, teachers ’ The workload is even greater. After the class every day, I will prepare non-stop PPT, text recording and practice paper for the next day.

　　The girl from Wenzhou, Xu Yueping, is an expatriate teacher in the Early Childhood Department of Italy-Italy School. Her students are all 3-5 years old. "The children are too young. If they are online, they can hardly concentrate. So I thought of opening 'Micro Classroom.' "

　　"Ms. Xu's Micro Classroom" is presented in the form of a video, about 5 minutes per class, and 2 to 3 sessions are recorded per week. Xu Yueping's vivid story and colorful picture books stimulate children's interest in learning Chinese. "New Crown for Children" Courses such as "Pneumonia Prevention Course" and "Being a Glorious Worker" are very popular.

　　"Cloud" teaching brings teachers and students closer

　　"Mr. Guo, I have a gift for you. Although we can't meet, I recorded a video." Clicking on the video, Guo Yanmei saw student Na Renge Ri Le holding a paper-cut work, on which is the pattern of the Great Wall, the child's The hand was injured when cutting paper, and the band-aid was tied.

　　After inquiring, I realized that it took Narenge Lele 3 days to cut out the work. "Although I have taught paper-cutting skills in online classes, I did not expect a second-year child to do so well."

　　"Ms. Liu, I haven't seen you for more than a month. I miss you a lot. Do you miss me?" Chen Yawen, a student at the New Chinese Trilingual School in Surabaya, Indonesia, greeted expatriate teacher Liu Hong in less fluent Chinese.

　　The theme of this lesson is "Days of Online Classes at Home". Liu Hong lets students tell about their lives in Chinese. "Someone shared their own meals, some introduced family members, and even the children who rarely talked in class talked about it."

　　In Liu Hong's view, "cloud" teaching not only did not alienate teachers and students, but made everyone more intimate. "I used to pay more attention to children's learning, and in the online class, we began to share each other's lives and moods."

　　Caring for life

　　In order to help expatriate teachers staying abroad to do a good job of epidemic prevention, schools, local Chinese associations and overseas Chinese affairs departments have sent care to them.

　　"The school sent rice to our teachers in Cambodia for three months. The Chinese community in Cambodia sent 7,000 masks. The Guangxi United Front Department also sent masks, alcohol and other epidemic prevention materials." Liao Shuhua said.

　　Liao Shuhua said that so far, none of the nearly 100 Chinese aid teachers have left school to return home. "Now the school needs us, and the students need us. We have to teach the course before we leave."

　　Liu Hong told reporters that the Indonesian New Chinese Trilingual School has repeatedly invited local medical experts to explain the protection knowledge to teachers online. The school also bought rice, flour, cooking oil, noodles and other life for the Chinese teachers left in the school dormitory Supplies.

　　"Now we are preparing lessons during the day, online lessons, walking and playing on the campus at night, and we have a very fulfilling day." Liu Hong said, we insist on completing the teaching tasks here, and look forward to the calm campus once again filled with children's laughter. (Finish)
