As the heat of summer fades, one of the great events of the educational world is slowly coming to an end. The five-day Future Master Class 2024, a grand gathering of educational elites across the country, successfully drew a end to this hopeful season. 2024 marks the fifth year of cooperation between the UNNC and the 21st Century Newspaper of China Daily. In the past five years, we have provided teaching competence training for more than 100 outstanding teachers in the English education industry, and jointly promoted the development of English education in China.
Programme opening ceremony
The 2024 Future Master Class kicked off on July 29 at UNNC. Teachers from all over the world gathered together with their love and pursuit of education. At the opening ceremony, everyone not only felt the enthusiasm and professionalism of the English Language Teaching Center of the University of Nottingham Ningbo, but also looked forward to the future learning journey.
Courses & Seminars
Over the next few days, a series of carefully designed courses and seminars will be a sea of knowledge for the participants to navigate and benefit from. From understanding learners and adjusting teaching materials, to language analysis, reading instruction, and the use of digital technology in teaching, every class is filled with sparks of wisdom. It is particularly worth mentioning that the reflective teachers' workshops have inspired profound thinking about the art of teaching, allowing students to grow in exchange and sharing.
Culture Exploration
If the course learning is the accumulation of knowledge, then the culture exploration is the baptism of the soul. The programme specially arranged a trip to visit Ningbo Museum, so that the students can feel the charm of culture in the long river of history. Ningbo Museum, with its unique architectural style and rich collections, shows the city's long history and profound cultural heritage. Here, we not only appreciate the glory of ancient civilization, but also feel the broad and profound Chinese culture.
In addition, the programme also arranged an unforgettable cultural trip for the students - Sanjiangkou night tour. As a landmark scenic spot in Ningbo, Sanjiangkou not only has a long history and culture, but also shows the unique urban style of Ningbo. When night falls, the students take a cruise boat and enjoy the bright lights of the three rivers and six banks in the breeze, and feel the modern charm and classical charm of Ningbo. The night tour not only allowed the students to relax in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, but also deepened their understanding and identification with Chinese culture.
Yoga course
In addition to the intense learning and communication, the programme also thoughtfully arranged yoga classes, so that students can relax in the busy. Under the guidance of gentle music and teachers, everyone can feel the flexibility and strength of the body through the combination of breathing and asanas, and experience inner peace and harmony. This is not only a physical exercise, but also a spiritual practice, so that everyone can find a moment of peace and self in the busy work of education.
Closing ceremony
With the arrival of the closing ceremony on August 2, the 2024 Future Master Training Class officially drew a successful end. Looking back on this week's study and life, every participant has gained a lot. Whether it is the accumulation of knowledge, the improvement of skills, or the establishment of friendship, the touch of the soul, will become our precious wealth. At the closing ceremony, everyone said that they would bring what they have learned back to work and contribute to the cause of education.
Although the 2024 Future Master Class has come to an end, the educational concept and enthusiasm it has transmitted will last forever. We believe that in the coming days, every participant will devote themselves to the cause of education with more enthusiasm and more professional attitude, and write a new chapter of education together. At the same time, we are also looking forward to our next meeting to explore the infinite possibilities of education together again.
