I consider myself suitable for this job position and could contribute to the university effectively.I am in the last year of my postgraduate study in the University of Melbourne. Chinese culture and history are subjects that have attracted me from a young age, and I have planned to teach Chinese related subjects in universities. I am familiar with Chinese culture (e.g. history, traditional philosophy, festivals, arts, cuisines etc.), and I have organised and hosted a series of culture-related lectures by inviting Chinese professors when I was an undergraduate student. Also, my English ability (TEM 8 and IELTES 8) enables me to teach Chinese culture course in both English and Mandarin to both international students in China and native Chinese students. In my education experiences, I have developed strong interpersonal skills and English communication skills. I have designed English club activities, taken part in various volunteer projects and accomplished homework (i.e. papers, presentations) in teams, which help me to be cooperative and efficient in multi-cultural working environments. Additionally, my previous teaching experiences required me to design curriculums and make assessment systems for my students. Therefore, I am familiar with the course designing process and am confident in initiating the Chinese culture course. My CV and my response to selection criteria are attached. Thank you for your consideration, and I am looking forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerely,Wenxuan PangRe: Chinese Culture TeacherUniversity of Nottingham Ningbo ChinaIn response to the selection criteria of this job position:Master’s degree in politics, philosophy, law, history, education or related discipline of social science;I am in the final year of postgraduate study in Applied linguistics at the University of Melbourne and will get my master’s degree in July 2020. Education and intercultural communication related subjects are important in my study. These subjects prepared me to become a culture teacher in multi-cultural environments. TEM 8, IELTS 7 or equivalent;I have attained TEM 8 certificate in 2018 and IELTS overall grade 8 in 2019. My learning experience in Australia also ensures my English proficiency, and I am confident in using English to teach Chinese culture course.Strong communication skills in English;In my studying experiences in Australia, I have learned to communicate with others effectively in English in both academic situations and daily conversations. For example, in one subject, I worked with three students who were from different cultural backgrounds to design an A1 size paper and present it in an exhibition successfully. I also volunteered in the Sino-Australasian Entrepreneurs Summit to help the communications between Chinese and Australian businesspeople. In this way, my English communicative skills were developed. IT skills in software application, courseware production;I have gained my Level 2 Certificate in National Computer Rank Examination, which proves my ability in using Microsoft Office Software proficiently for work. In my teaching experiences, I designed and produced learning materials and exam papers by using software applications. New teaching tools like slides, audios and videos were also used in my class. In addition, daily communications with each student and their parents through the school’s online platform were required. I believe my IT skills are qualified for this job position.Experience of relevant teaching work;In my undergraduate study, I designed and hosted a series of culture-related lectures (8 lectures) for all the students. Both Chinese and American professors were invited to give lectures in English, introduce eastern and western cultures to students and discuss the features of different cultures. I assisted in deciding the topics of each lecture, helped the professors to prepare lecture contents and helped organize the whole event. I also had two teaching internships, which helped me to develop my teaching abilities. Therefore, I consider myself qualified in becoming a Chinese culture teacher. Ability of research and innovation;In my postgraduate studies, I have gained skills in conducting research and making innovations. Research papers with creative contents are required for almost all the subjects, enabling me to develop strong abilities in collecting information, analyzing previous papers and practices, designing research proposals and conducting experiments. For instance, I conducted a study about bilingual or multilingual Chinese students’ language attitudes towards their languages and the influence of their attitudes on their identity construction in Australia. This study combined the academic principles in the fields of bilingualism, culture and identity. Therefore, I am confident in making research on pedagogical issues related to Chinese culture course and making improvements to the curriculum. Good interpersonal skills. I have developed good interpersonal skills through taking part in various social activities. As the head of speaking department of the school English club in my undergraduate study, I organized and hosted English corner activities, English speech competitions and cultural lectures with other club members, which benefited my interpersonal skills in communicating and cooperating with others in teams. Also, my multiple volunteer experiences in Australia enable me to be efficient in teamwork and communications with people from different cultural background. My interpersonal skills allow me to adapt to new working environments quickly and become a useful team member. ................
