Henan’s “Foreign Teaching Anchors” during the School Closure amid the Epidemic

看看河南“停课不停教”中的那些“外教主播”!


The outbreak of COVID-19 keeps the students in China away from the campus even after the winter holiday. According to a notice issued by the Ministry of Education, cyberspace is recommended to provide students with rich online learning resources, ensuring that the students could attend the online classes.

突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情,将寒假结束的学生们阻隔在曾经热闹的校园之外。根据教育部统一安排部署,为应对延期开学对学生学习造成的影响,倡议利用网络平台为学生提供丰富的学习资源,确保“停课不停教,停课不停学”。


So, teachers become the “teaching anchors” or “online education celebrities” now even foreign teachers.

为了学生,老师们“八仙过海,各显神通”,纷纷变身“教育主播”,成为“课堂网红”,这其中还有一些洋面孔。
