On September 14, 2013, the Second Teaching Competition for Majors of English Education of Guangdong Province was held in South China Normal University. On behalf of the School of Foreign Languages of BNUZ, Lin Zhijun and He Zhangyi participated in this competition and received excellent results. Lin Zhijun won the first prize and He Zhangyi the second prize.

The competition was sponsored by the Bureau of Education of Guangdong Province and organized by South China Normal University. 35 students from 17 universities participated in this competition.

The competition started at 8 a.m. Each contestant got the teaching materials and teaching objectives by lot and he or she had only one hour to prepare for a 12-minute lesson. This arrangement ensured the fairness of this competition.

Both contestants from the SFL of BNUZ mentioned that this competition was a truly distinct opportunity to learn from experienced teachers and other outstanding students from different universities. The competition was definitely stimulating and inspiring. They also expressed their gratitude for their coaches, Associate Professor and vice dean Xie Qingli and Ms. Dai Jia, for their guidance before the competition.

The competition was a great platform for the two students of our university to demonstrate their talents and professional skills. The prizes they got were an embodiment of the SFL’s excellence in the education of English majors.
