跨文化，融昆外。

歌聲裊裊辭舊歲，舞姿翩翩迎新春。

本學期即將進入尾聲，回顧一學期的外教管理工作，點點滴滴，歷歷在目。昆城外國語學校匯集了來自英美澳加新等國家為主的21名外籍教師，語言、文化、愛好、特長等各不相同。外教從最初了解環境、慢慢的在教學、管理、招生、比賽和演出等各個方面都積極參與和努力付出，無時無處不體現了作為主人翁的責任感。外教為中西文化的交流和先進教學理念的傳播提供了更多機會，創造了良好的語言學習環境，營造了國際化的學習氛圍。我們為擁有這樣的一家人倍感欣慰！

This semester is coming to an end. Looking back on the management work of foreign teachers in the semester, everything is still vivid in the mind. There’re 21 foreign teachers mainly from the UK, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, joining Kuncheng Foreign language school with different languages, cultures, hobbies and specialties. Foreign teachers from the initial understanding of the environment, slowly integrated into teaching, management, enrollment, competition and performance and other aspects of active participation and hard work, which reflect the sense of responsibility and ownership of every teacher. Foreign teachers provide more opportunities for the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures and the spread of advanced teaching methodologies, create a good language learning environment and an international learning atmosphere. We are gratified to have such a family!

來自不同國度的外教首先要克服生活中的種種困難和障礙：語言溝通，飲食習慣等。在教學方面沒有任何懈怠，課前積極備課，課堂上用豐富的肢體語言和幽默風趣的教學方式感染學生。講講本國的風土人情，文化歷史，讓每一個學生對神奇的異國風情充滿好奇，外教課倍受學生喜愛。對學校的跨文化交流起了良好的橋梁和紐帶作用。

Foreign teachers from different countries should first overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles in life: the inconvenience of communication when buying things, the unaccustomed diet, etc. However, there is no slack in teaching. Before class, they actively prepare lessons. In class, they use rich body language and humorous teaching methods to attract students. Sometimes they talk about the local customs, culture and history of their country, which makes every student curious about the magical exotic customs. Foreign teachers are very popular with students. It has played a good role as a bridge and link for the school's cross-cultural communication.

9月21日，蘇州之行是本學期開學初學校組織的第一次外教團建活動，走進姑蘇，品姑蘇文化，融入中國生活。

The trip to Suzhou on September 21 is the first foreign teachers' team building activity organized by the school at the beginning of this semester. Entering Suzhou and tasting it’s ancient culture make all teachers integrate into Chinese life easily.

學校每周的外教中文課更是良計之一，從根源解決外教溝通障礙。漢語學習使外教更好地融入昆外大家庭，同時體驗漢語的獨特魅力。快樂學習，快樂工作，快樂生活！

The school's weekly Chinese class for foreign teachers is one of the good strategies to solve the communication obstacles of foreign teachers from the root. Chinese learning enables foreign teachers to better integrate into the school as a big family and experience the unique charm of Chinese. Happy study, happy work, happy life!

本學期，開展一系列的符合國際交往需要并且與精神文明建設密切相關的活動。組織動員外籍教師參加集團運動會活動等。不僅豐富了外籍教師業余文化生活，而且也使他們更加真實地了解中國，增強了對學校的認知以及感情，在舒心工作同時，也與昆外家人之間建立了深厚的情誼，融入昆外大家庭，樹立學校良好的對外形象，推進國際交流與合作事業的不斷發展具有重要的作用。

This semester, we’ve carried out a series of activities that meet the needs of international exchanges and are closely related to the construction of spiritual civilization. Organizing and mobilizing foreign teachers to participate in the Education group’s sports games. It not only enriches the amateur cultural life of foreign teachers, but also makes them understand more about China, enhances their cognition and feelings towards the school. At the same time, it also establishes a deep friendship with Chinese teachers and integrates into the family of Kuncheng Foreign Language School as a big family, sets up a good external image of the school, and promotes the continuous development of international exchange and cooperation.

每逢重大節日，校領導積極為外籍教師籌劃舉辦節日宴會等活動，并與外籍教師親切交談，了解其工作、生活情況，教師倍感溫暖和關懷，有效地激發了外籍教師的工作熱情和主動性。

In every major festival, the school leaders actively plan and hold Festival banquet and other activities for foreign teachers, and have a cordial conversation with foreign teachers to understand their work and life conditions. The teachers feel warm and caring, effectively stimulating the enthusiasm and initiative of foreign teachers.

外籍教師在國際化學校的作用日漸突出，不僅引進了西方教學理念和教學模式，而且營造了良好的外語學習氛圍，激發了學生學習外語的興趣，學生受到純正外語的熏陶，提高了學生的交際水平和聽說能力，促進了外語教學改革的深化和教學水平的提高，豐富了中外文化藝術之間的交流。我們的外教更是在不同活動中感受中國文化，融入昆外大家庭。

Foreign teachers play a more and more important role in international schools. They not only introduce western teaching concepts and teaching models, but also create a good atmosphere for foreign language learning, stimulate students' interest in learning foreign languages. Students are influenced by pure foreign languages, improve students' communication level and listening and speaking ability, promote the deepening reform of foreign language teaching and the improvement of teaching level. Our foreign teachers also experience Chinese culture in different activities and integrate into the family.
