WORKSHOP 1
工作坊（一）
Topic: Some Thoughts on How to Enhance the Teaching of Chinese through Songs and Blooket
主题:《如何通过歌曲加强汉语教学的几点思考》
Presenter主讲人: Mr. Jianjun Chen (Lester)陈建军老师
School学校: Tenison Woods College

The event featured three workshops, with the first one led by Lester Chen, a dedicated teacher from Tenison Woods College in Mount Gambier. During the workshop, Lester Chen shared his teaching experience and highlighted the eagerness of rural school students to learn Chinese. During his presentation, Lester Chen introduced techniques to boost students' learning motivation, such as incorporating 5-10 minutes of Chinese songs in each class to encourage singing and improve their recognition of Chinese characters. He also shared Blooket, a tool that can help students practice and enhance their Chinese language skills while immersing themselves in Chinese culture.
当晚的培训共进行了三场讲座。第一场讲座由来自Mount Gambier的Tenison Woods College的陈建军老师主持。作为一位非常敬业的老教师，陈老师不仅分享了自己在教学中的实践经验，而且深刻展示了乡村学校的孩子们渴望学习中文的热情。在讲座中，陈老师介绍了如何通过在每堂课中嵌入5-10分钟的中文歌曲，让孩子们在唱中文歌曲、理解中文情感以及提升对汉字的认知等方面激发学习热情。此外，陈老师还分享了如何在教学中使用Blooket来帮助孩子们巩固练习中文语言，并提升文化体验。
After Mr. Chen finished his presentation, Ms. Yufang Qiu from the Alice Springs Language Center left an online message praising his dedication in addressing diverse teaching resource limitations in the classroom and giving students ample attention and support. This workshop undoubtedly provided inspiration and encouragement to teachers in resource-scarce areas, urging Chinese educators in remote regions to persist in discovering locally relevant teaching methods to further language education.
当陈老师结束讲座后，来自Alice Springs Language Center的邱老师在线留言表示陈老师在课堂上很认真地应对不同的教学资源限制，给予学生们足够的关注和支持。对于那些身处资源匮乏地区的老师而言，这次讲座无疑给大家带来了启示和鼓舞，它鼓励着在偏远地区的中文老师在有限的教学资源条件下，继续探索适合本地的教学方法来推进语言教育事业。
As a teacher worked in Mount Gambier before, I have some reflections on Lester Chen's workshop. Despite rural schools' willingness to support Chinese teachers in improving language education, many educators im country lack opportunities to communicate face-to-face with colleagues and conduct teaching research. We also feel isolated and overwhelmed in the new environment, which makes teaching more challenging. However, Lester Chen's teaching methods and his encouragement of students have shown us that we can overcome these obstacles with courage and innovation. This has also urged us to think about how we can better support Chinese teachers working in remote areas and rural students who are passionate about Chinese language and culture. Our Association and relevant education departments need to provide more practical educational resources, support, and training to achieve our common objectives.
作为曾在Mount Gambier多年的教师，我个人对陈老师的讲座有很多的感触。尽管乡村地区的学校非常愿意支持我们中文老师来提升语言教学，但是很多中文教师缺乏与同事面对面交流和教学研究的机会，而且我们也感到在新环境中孤立无援，这使得教学变得更加具有挑战性。然而，陈老师的教学方法和对学生的鼓励让我们意识到，我们可以通过勇气和创新来克服这些困难。这也促使我们深入思考如何更好地支持那些在偏远地区工作的中文老师以及那些热爱中国文化的乡村学生。我们的中文教师协会和相关教育部门需要提供更实际的教育资源的支持和实用的教育培训，以实现我们的共同目标。

The second workshop was presented by Chee Hock Tan, a teacher from Mackillop Catholic College in the Northern Territory. The topic of his presentation was "Integrating Online and Offline Resources for Primary School Chinese Language Learners". In his workshop, Chee Hock Tan used the twelve Chinese zodiac animals as a theme to demonstrate how young students can improve their Chinese language proficiency through fun classroom games and activities. He also shared teaching software examples, such as Minecraft: Education Edition and Hello Smart. Many teachers were impressed by the student assignment samples and the engaging software that Chee Hock Tan presented. Some even connected their computers or phones to try it out for themselves.
第二场讲座是由来自北领地Mackillop Catholic College的陈志福老师（Chee Hock Tan）主讲的《小学第二语言中文课堂线上线下资源综合运用》讲座。陈老师在讲座中以十二生肖和动物为主题，展示了他的小学班级如何通过课堂游戏、活动等来提升中文语言能力，分享了使用Minecraft: Education Edition和Hello Smart等教学软件的实例。观看过程中，很多老师都被陈老师分享的学生作业实例和有趣的软件所吸引，并且亲自拿电脑或者手机连线尝试。
We'd like to express our gratitude to Bee Huang Khoo, the president of the Chinese Language Teachers' Association of Northern Territory Incorporated, for recommending Chee Hock Tan to speak at this event. We're especially thankful to Mr. Tan for taking the time to prepare this workshop on short notice. It's heartening to see the enthusiasm for Chinese education among young Chinese teachers in the Northern Territory, and their willingness to share their teaching experiences with colleagues in South Australia.
能够邀请到北领地的陈老师为南澳州的老师们分享教学经验，我们要感谢北领地中文教师协会会长美凰老师（Bee Huang Khoo）为本次活动宣传并推荐陈老师，更要感谢陈老师愿意牺牲自己的时间在最短的时间内为我们准备了这场讲座。
With such a promising group of young Chinese teachers, we're confident that our Chinese teaching team will continue to thrive and grow.

The third workshop was jointly organized by Chen Liu, a Chinese teacher at Mercedes College, and Mingxia Wei from Seymour College. Chen Liu shared some valuable insights on how to prepare Chinese Background students for the "In-depth Study" school assessments and the external SACE Oral Exam. Being a first-language Chinese teacher with extensive teaching experience, Chen Liu's sincere advice was greatly appreciated and had a positive impact on our teaching. Her practical suggestions helped our Chinese Background students to achieve even better results.
第三场讲座是由Mercedes College的中文教师刘晨老师与Seymour College的魏明霞老师共同主持的。在讲座中，刘老师分享了针对第一语言学生准备“调查研究”任务和校外口语考试的实用建议。作为第一语言中文教师，能够听到富有教学经验的刘老师如此诚恳的建议，确实让我们所有第一语言老师受益匪浅，并且对我们的教学工作产生积极的影响，从而让我们的第一语言学生获益更多。
Reflections
反思
As we organized these workshops, we were impressed by the eagerness of teachers to learn and share educational ideas. However, we also noticed that some teachers may hesitate to openly discuss their teaching practices and beliefs. In today's fast-evolving age of artificial intelligence, we're bombarded with advertisements for perfect online and offline education and high-quality presentations from renowned teachers and experts. This can make some teachers feel that they have fewer opportunities to share their own experiences and doubt how to showcase their teaching publicly.
在组织这场教师培训的过程中，我们深刻感受到了老师们渴望学习和教育交流的热情，同时也意识到了我们老师对于在公众面前分享自己的教学实践和教育理念存在着一定的犹豫。在人工智能快速崛起的时代，我们每天听到、看到的都是对于线上、线下完美教育的宣传和非常高质量的名师分享、专家讲座，很多普通老师反而逐渐失去了与人分享的机会。许多老师因此对于自己如何在公众面前展示自己的教学产生了疑虑。
One question we face is how we can confidently exhibit authentic classroom scenarios and daily teaching practices while also demonstrating impeccable teaching techniques and advanced theories to the audience. This will enable all teachers and viewers to participate and explore how to improve and what direction to take in the future. We urge all teachers to consider this question thoroughly and come forward courageously to share their teaching practices. By doing so, we can all grow and learn through open communication.
我们面临的问题是如何向观众展示完美的教学示范课和高深的理论的同时，也勇敢地展示最真实的课堂情境和日常教学实践，让我们所有的教师观众参与其中并一同探讨如何提升教学以及中文教育的未来方向？这是我们所有老师都需要深入思考的问题。我们期待更多的老师能够勇敢站出来分享自己的教学实践，与我们一同交流、成长！
