2010年8月，我们一行20人乘上飞往英国的飞机，前往奇切斯特大学学习。飞机飞行了18小时后，终于降落在伦敦Gatwick机场。一下飞机，我们就进入了一个既陌生又熟悉的英语世界。

奇切斯特大学座落在英格兰南海岸美丽的西苏塞克斯郡。这所大学有两个古老而迷人的校园，分别是位于奇切斯特的奥特主教校园（Bishop Otter）和地处Bognor Regis镇的校园。两个校园都为学生创造了优越的学习环境。

我们的培训在位于Bognor Regis镇的校园进行。校园虽然很小，但教学设施齐全，有教学楼、图书馆、计算机房、学生服务中心，还有供学生进行体育活动的网球场及足球场。每座楼里的设施都非常先进，所有的门都有密码，即月加年的数字，而且密码每月自动更新。比如2010年9月，门的密码就是0910，到了10月就成了1010。图书馆里有各类藏书，凡是有学生证的学生均可借书，有的书可以借一周，有些书则仅能借两天，所有书都必须按时归还，因为违约金非常贵！

给我们上课的教师都非常认真、负责，时间观念很强。每次上课之前，授课教师都会将讲义打印并分发给学生，向大家介绍完授课重点后，就要求学生各抒己见，畅所欲言，教师则随时对学生提出的问题一一做详细解答。我们都很喜欢这种教学方式。

奇切斯特市是一个国际培训基地，很多国家的学生在此接受过短期培训。学校的任课教师知识渊博、经验丰富，他们授课时没有固定课本，只有为每节课制作的讲义。这些讲义都是教师们在长期的教学过程中积累并完善的。

在此次培训中，我感到受益匪浅。到达英国的第一周，学校为我们安排了第一次Tutorials,20个学员被分为10组，每组学员分别在规定时间和两位辅导教师见面，向其详细介绍自己的工作现状、对进修的期望和自己在工作中遇到的最大困难等。

学校根据这一次学情调查为我们制定了培训期间的六门课程，分别为Language Development for Teachers; Current English Language Teaching Practice; Introduction to Culture; Aspects of Culture; Contemporary Issues in Educational Study Visits; Literature and Location; Trainer Training。

第一周星期五下午，我们从学校宿舍搬往寄宿家庭，因为学校希望我们完全融入到英语家庭中，以便更深刻得了解英国文化。第二周至第十二周是正式上课阶段。在第三周、第五周和第六周，学校分别为我们安排了三次consultations（讨论会），以便了解我们对培训内容的看法和要求，对培训教师和寄宿生活的阶段性评价，并对我们提出的建议及时予以了反馈。

三个月的学习很快就结束了，一切都变成了美好的回忆。我深知培训的结束是新历程的开始，我会坚持终身学习，并将我的所学运用到今后的教学之中。

通过在奇切斯特大学三个月的培训,我在各方面都有了很大收获。

首先，在英国生活和学习期间，我有机会同当地不同背景、不同年龄的人交流，不仅提高了听力和口语水平,而且对英国的文化和历史有了进一步了解。同时，在教师Paula的帮助下，我每星期坚持写一篇周记和读书笔记,英语写作水平也有了明显提高。

其次，Zarina,Paula,

Anna等教师严谨的治学态度给我留下了很深的印象。他们不仅有丰富的知识，而且对待教学工作一丝不苟。几位教师每节课都按时点名，还要求我们天天完成作业并按时上交。他们每次都提前半小时进入教室，做好准备工作。在课堂上，他们鼓励和指导学生学习，让学生充分展示自己的才能。

第三,我认识到，传统的英语教学方法应该改变。以往在教学中我们主要教授学生语法规则和词汇。现在，我意识到英语是一种交流工具，我们应该帮助学生提升听、说、读、写等综合能力,学会用英语进行交流。同时，教师应该发挥学生的学习主动性，培养他们良好的学习习惯，指导他们研究、讨论，从而提升自学能力。

As a learner of English, studying in England made me feel just like a fish in the water. I could say that the progress I have made has exceeded expectations. One of the major reasons for which I have achieved so much is that we had highly-qualified teachers.

Zarina, who spoke English very clearly, taught us Current English Language Teaching Practice, from which I got a better understanding of ELT. Zarina made a deep impression upon me, for she was a very learned woman and her classes were always lively and interesting. In a relaxing atmosphere, we all enjoyed the activities, and thus reaching the goal we were supposed to reach was no difficult task at all.

Polar, another excellent teacher, taught us Language Development. As one of the main courses, it really helped me improve myself a lot in listening, speaking, reading, writing as well as grammar. No matter what we did in her classes, we could always get a sense of fulfillment. I am really grateful to her for her wonderful work.

I have learned and experienced a lot in the UK. During the twelve weeks, my four basic English skills have improved a lot, especially my listening and speaking ability.

In the UK, I have experienced a very different culture. While visiting the big cities, such as London, Brighton and Chichester and the places of interest such as cathedrals, castles and museums, I found myself so impressed by their beauty and the strange style of the architectures.

I also learned a lot from my excellent tutors. Their teaching methods and attitude towards the job impressed me greatly. I admired them very much and I have decided to modify the way I teach in the future.

The specific things I plan to do are as followed. Try to use warming-up activities to catch my students?attention, arouse their interest and encourage them to participate in the class activities. Try to create a relaxing and comfortable learning atmosphere. Change the way I treated the students. Change my teaching methods.

During the twelve weeks, I have learned a lot of effective teaching methods from Zarina, who has introduced a wide range of current approaches and methods on English language teaching to us. She used many useful and practical ways to teach vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing, which were very impressive.

My English has improved a lot during the Language Development course. Paula, our tutor, designed quite a few activities to improve our listening, speaking and reading skills as well as to enrich our vocabulary. As part of Paula誷 requirement, we had to keep writing journals and hand in at least one book review every week. Meanwhile, we were told to watch British TV programmes and listen to native speakers?English as much as possible. We have taken every opportunity to discuss with and learn from the tutors.

In a word, we have refreshed our knowledge as well as our techniques in teaching by participating in this programme.
