Education is not only in the classroom, but also in life outside the classroom. Teaching and educating people is a heavy responsibility. We should use our words and deeds to influence students and be a "guide" on students' growth.

The words of Zhang Yuanhui, an outstanding individual of the first Beijing Institute of Technology and an associate professor of the School of Foreign Languages, spoke out her original intention and mission of educating people.

After graduating from Renmin University of China in 2004, Zhang Yuanhui entered the School of Foreign Languages of Beijing Institute of Technology as a teacher of the core courses of Japanese, teaching many undergraduate and graduate courses such as basic Japanese, Japanese speech and debate, sociolinguistics and so on. Over the years, Zhang Yuanhui has always regarded teaching as a commitment and kept education in mind. She has actively engaged in the training of compound foreign language talents and the reform of foreign language education and teaching, accumulated rich teaching experience and trained a large number of foreign language talents.

"To learn a foreign language is to understand a culture".

"Language contains rich culture. Learning a foreign language is to understand a culture. In Japanese class, I will guide students to further establish the cultural confidence of Chinese excellent traditional culture in the comparative study of Chinese and Japanese culture." When the class talks about the Japanese tea ceremony spirit of "peace and quiet", she will guide students to think about the ways and context of cultural exchange and communication between China and Japan, think about the philosophy, ethics and aesthetics reflected in cultural phenomena, and guide students to further strengthen their cultural self-confidence and establish their ambition of becoming a powerful country in the historical depth of the comparison between the present and the past between China and Japan.

"Only by deeply understanding each other can we fully understand ourselves." In Zhang Yuanhui's view, language courses are an important bridge and link to guide students to comprehensively and correctly understand contemporary China and objectively look at the world. In Japanese courses, Zhang Yuanhui will lead students to understand Japanese culture, guide students to understand the process and significance of cultural exchange, and then pursue the root of Chinese culture.

"The rich course content and teaching from multiple perspectives make us more deeply understand the charm of Chinese excellent traditional culture while learning the language, and constantly improve our personal cultivation while absorbing spiritual strength." Talking about the course of basic Japanese taught by Zhang Yuanhui, many students of grade 2016 said so.

"She's a knowledgeable and intimate sister"

"Accurate mastery and flexible use are the key to language learning." In Zhang Yuanhui's opinion, teaching students to "speak" is only the basis for learning the language. The most important thing is to guide students to think about "why do I translate so" and "how should I translate", help students learn to think in the process of language communication, and then help students build their own thinking framework and really control language tools.

"On the basis of good lessons, guiding students to apply theoretical knowledge is the key to the integration of science and education." In her daily study and life, she also pays attention to guiding students to find problems from their own perspective and cultivate students' ability to study real knowledge and solve real problems.

"Promoting learning and teaching through competition" is an important magic weapon for Zhang Yuanhui to improve students' language ability. In addition to daily teaching, she leads students to participate in various high-level competitions, and uses information-based teaching means to guide students to conduct pre competition input training and competition simulation. For different types of competitions such as application-oriented and research-oriented, Zhang Yuanhui has formulated personalized guidance schemes for students. Under her careful guidance, many students have won many high-level competitions, such as the "people's China" international translation competition, the "Sasakawa Cup" National University Japanese research paper competition and so on.
