I am very happy to be employed as an English teacher at Omeida because Omeida is a well organized and managed school which offers excellent facilities for teaching and a supportive and friendly environment.

I started teaching at Omeida in March 2010 and I have given English lessons to students in the lower, intermediate and advanced classes as well as conducting an Intermediate Business English course.

Every student has the goal to improve their oral, listening, writing and reading English skills so that they will be more valuable to an employer and or to their customers in the future.

Student’s confidence in learning is motivated by their teachers and I encourage students to ask questions as often as they like, recite dictation to their friends and have their friends give dictation back to them. In this way they are practicing speaking English clearly and can quickly find out where they are making mistakes.

I also encourage students to send me emails and I promise to reply to all their emails. I receive emails from ex-students who often ask me for advice which I am happy to give.

The other ways to improve their English is to communicate with their teachers outside of class time and also to speak to each other in English in their free time. Many students enjoy having a dinner party in the home of their foreign teacher. I also suggest that students write stories or write out conversations and have their teacher correct any mistakes.

More suggestions for learning English are: - Watching English movies, listening to the BBC news or other broadcasts in English on the internet, reading English stories and articles.  Review lessons taught during the week, ask teachers questions about anything which the student doesn’t fully understand.

Another way to improve English is to find a pen friend/pen pal to correspond with. There are many internet sites for pen friends/pen pals. 

I have been fortunate enough to travel to more than 26 countries and since being in China I have enjoyed visiting Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Suzhou, Weijiao, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Guiyang, Dali, Liajiang, Shangri-la and Shenzhen as well as Xingping and Fuli. 

澳大(dà)利亞人，曾在澳洲移民局擔任過簽證負責人，公司行政經理(lǐ)助理(lǐ)，人事(shì)顧問等職位。她(tā)閱曆豐富，從(cóng)1974年到(dào)至今，先後去過全球的26個國家，并在馬來(lái)西亞、菲律賓等亞洲國家教過不同國家學員的英語，擁有TESOL證書。她(tā)的課堂集教書與育人爲一體，既嚴謹，又實用(yòng)。風(fēng)趣幽默與嚴格要求并重的講課風(fēng)格造就了(le)她(tā)高(gāo)滿意率的課堂，平易近人兼豁達大(dà)度的性格成就了(le)她(tā)獨特的人格魅力。她(tā)的職業目标是：将學員成功培養成國際性的英語人才。

在Dianne看(kàn)來(lái)，信心對(duì)英語學習來(lái)說是非常重要的，同時(shí)課後還要跟外(wài)教還有中教多多交流，多多練習寫作(zuò)，經常寫一些(xiē)生活中的故事(shì)和(hé)平時(shí)的對(duì)話(huà)練習，這(zhè)樣對(duì)于英語學習會(huì)有幫助。

觀看(kàn)英語電影，或者聽一些(xiē)BBC新聞，或者是其他(tā)的一些(xiē)英語廣播，閱讀一些(xiē)英語故事(shì)或是文(wén)章對(duì)英語學習也(yě)是很(hěn)有幫助的。溫故而知(zhī)新，經常複習老(lǎo)師上(shàng)過的課文(wén)對(duì)學習會(huì)很(hěn)有幫助。

學員都這(zhè)麽說，跟Dianne在一起，總是讓人倍感親切。 

Dianne 對(duì)中國文(wén)化很(hěn)感興趣，看(kàn)Dianne在向大(dà)家Show 她(tā)的剪紙(zhǐ)呢(ne)。 

和(hé)藹可親的Dianne，正在鼓勵，引導學員練習英語呢(ne)。
