h. What have you learned from your English teaching experience?

We must be familiar with our own teaching materials before giving lectures in order to convey correct
knowledge. In the process of teaching, we should also have good reaction ability. If we encounter a slip of the
tongue, we should correct it in time. In addition, students’ absorption should be observed at any time to
ensure that students are keeping up with our own pace.

translation to better present the original text to the public.

k. Try to recall and write down any incidence that you find interesting in English language teaching.
The most memorable and rewarding experiences I encountered in my English language teaching was
when a student had a genuine “aha” moment during one of my lessons. I had been explaining a complex
grammar concept, and suddenly, I noticed a subtle smile on the student's face. It was clear that they had not
only understood the concept but also found it amusing or intriguing. Witnessing this connection between the
knowledge I imparted, and the student's understanding was incredibly fulfilling.
