In June 2020, Miss Yizhuo Ma, a substitute teacher from our school, represented Durham Chinese School in the First Global Micro-lecture Competition of Overseas Chinese Teaching and achieved an excellent Second Prize!
As the COVID-19 pandemic became severe in the UK, all courses at the Chinese school had already transitioned to online platforms. One of the competition’s aims was to adapt to the rapidly developing online learning methods. Especially during the pandemic, offline Chinese language teaching institutions worldwide almost came to a halt, making online teaching an increasingly urgent necessity. The First Global Chinese Teaching Micro-lecture Competition was jointly organized by Jinan University College of Chinese Language and Culture, Huaqiao University College of Chinese Language and Culture, and Hanbridge Online. Its goal was to vigorously promote the development of “Internet + Global Chinese Education,” optimize and enrich teaching methods through modern information technology, enhance teaching effectiveness, cultivate Chinese teachers’ digital teaching literacy, and promote the high-quality and efficient sustainable development of Chinese language education.
Due to the pandemic, various stages of this competition experienced appropriate delays. Since its commencement, over 500 contestants from 22 countries and regions enthusiastically registered, submitting nearly 400 entries. After intense competition in the preliminary and final rounds, and under the joint evaluation of industry experts and scholars, Ms. Yizhuo Ma’s entry, “Henry’s Railway Journey,” representing Durham Chinese School, achieved an excellent Second Prize in the individual category.
Teacher Ma Yizhuo’s Reflection
“This was a very meaningful online competition I participated in through Durham Chinese School. When the COVID-19 pandemic suddenly hit in 2020, all courses at Durham Chinese School were forced to move to online platforms. In the initial phase of online classes, both students and teachers went through a considerable period of exploration. We encountered various issues and unexpected situations, such as a lack of physical textbooks, sluggish online teaching platforms, and unfamiliarity with online platforms for both teachers and students. Ultimately, thanks to the efforts of teachers and the school committee, and the great cooperation from parents and students, online courses have been able to continue to this day. Both the online Chinese teaching during the pandemic and my participation in the micro-lecture competition hold extraordinary significance for me.
During this competition, I received strong support from Principal Haoyang Liu, who encouraged me to register and provided many insights and suggestions throughout the process. My many close friends and family members also offered much encouragement, support, and excellent advice. I sincerely thank everyone for their great support during my participation. I will continue to strive, dedicating my modest efforts in my spare time to Chinese language teaching and the dissemination of Chinese culture overseas.
Friends and teachers interested in this type of competition are welcome to consult me or discuss related questions anytime; I will spare no effort in sharing my experiences and insights. I hope to see more teachers and students from Durham Chinese School participate in future competitions, allowing Chinese culture to spread even better in the UK and in Durham.”
Conclusion and Best Wishes
On this occasion, we extend our gratitude to all staff members of Durham Chinese School for their hard work and to all students’ parents for their active participation. We sincerely wish everyone good health and academic achievements in the New Year! We also wish Durham Chinese School smooth activities and fruitful results in the coming year!
恭喜我校马亿琢老师荣获全球华文教学微课大赛二等奖

2020年6月，我校代课老师马亿琢代表杜伦中文学校参加了首届全球华文教学微课大赛，并荣获二等奖的佳绩！
在全球新冠疫情形势严峻之时，中文学校的所有课程早已转移到线上平台。微课大赛的目的之一，正是为了适应当时快速发展的在线学习模式。特别是在疫情期间，全球各地的线下中文教学机构几乎停摆，因此采取线上教学形式变得刻不容缓。首届全球华文教学微课大赛由暨南大学华文学院、华侨大学华文学院、唐风汉语联合主办，旨在大力促进“互联网+全球中文教育”的发展，通过现代信息技术优化和丰富教学手段，提升教学效果，培养中文教师的信息化教学素养，从而促进中文教育的高质高效可持续发展。
由于疫情原因，本次大赛的各个阶段都经历了适当的延期。自开赛以来，共有来自22个国家和地区的500余位选手踊跃报名，提交了近400件参赛作品。经过初赛与决赛的激烈角逐，在业内专家、学者的共同评审下，马亿琢老师代表杜伦中文学校参赛的作品《亨利的铁路旅行》荣获个人组二等奖。
马亿琢老师的感言
“这是我在杜伦中文学校参加的一次非常有意义的线上比赛活动。2020年新冠疫情突如其来，杜伦中文学校的所有课程被迫转移到线上平台。在网课初期，学生和老师们都经历了一段不短的摸索过程。我们遇到了缺少纸质教材、在线教学平台使用不流畅、师生对在线平台不熟悉等各种问题和突发状况。最终，经过老师和校委会的努力，以及家长和学生们的大力配合，线上课程才得以持续至今。疫情期间的线上中文教学，以及我参加的微课大赛活动，对我来说都具有非凡的意义。
在本次比赛期间，我得到了刘浩洋校长的大力支持，他鼓励我报名参赛，并在过程中给了我很多意见和建议。同时，我的许多挚友和家人也给了我很多鼓励、支持和很好的建议。衷心感谢大家对我在比赛过程中的大力支持。我将继续努力，在课余时间尽我的绵薄之力，致力于中文教学和中华文化在海外的传播。
对这类大赛感兴趣的朋友和老师们，也可以随时找我咨询或讨论相关问题，我将不遗余力地分享我的一些经验和心得。希望在以后的比赛中，能看到更多杜伦中文学校的师生参赛，让中华文化在英国、在杜伦更好地传播。”
结语与祝福
在此之际，我们感谢所有杜伦中文学校教职员工的辛勤付出和各位学生家长的积极参与，并衷心祝愿大家在新的一年里身体健康，学有所成！也预祝杜伦中文学校在新的一年里活动顺利，硕果累累！
