Recognizing the unique challenges of rural education, the program team designed a series of courses tailored to the actual needs and levels of rural teachers. The curriculum covered vocabulary building, reading enhancement, listening training, writing exploration, and grammar consolidation, striving for comprehensive and in-depth coverage. Rural teachers valued this precious opportunity, actively participating in class, interacting enthusiastically with teachers, and discussing teaching methods.

A highlight of the programme was a day dedicated to micro-teaching practice, where rural teachers transitioned from listeners to presenters, showcasing their new knowledge through engaging micro-teaching demonstrations. Other teachers and foreign instructors, as audience members, were inspired by their teaching enthusiasm and provided real-time feedback to help refine teaching strategies and deepen teaching understanding.

The 2024 Rural English Advancement Programme was not only an exchange of knowledge and skills but also a touching and growth-filled experience. We believe that after these five days of learning and practice, rural teachers will return to their educational frontlines with renewed determination and enhanced skills. They will use their knowledge to illuminate the dreams of rural children and infuse rural education with new vitality and hope.
