Chapter Seventy-One: What the Hell Is He Doing?
PowerPoint is a software that has recently tormented a large number of professors at home and abroad.
It was precisely because Hu Bingwen saw the power of this software in teaching when he went abroad for exchanges, so after he came back, he suggested that the team of teachers in China and overseas should fully promote it.
But. In addition to reading books in various languages every day, the teaching team is holding a variety of Chinese and foreign dictionaries, and the use rate of computers is not high, and many professors do not know how to operate computers at all.
The team of teachers at China Overseas has been teaching with blackboards and chalk for decades, and even young teachers who can use computers are all very simple operations, and they are not easy to type.
Like PPT, it is an advanced professional software, and no one has been in contact with it before Hu Bingwen went to foreign exchanges.
In order to build a new campus, the teacher team did not even have a few teaching computers, so the progress of learning PPT was extremely slow.
Hu Bingwen diligently studied for a winter vacation, and found that his level of operation was not as good as that of a primary school student compared to Xu Yiyang.
While he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't help but sneak closer and take a closer look at the content on the screen.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the content in Xu Yiyang's PPT scared him even more.
This kid is actually doing English courseware!
Look at the title of this page PPT:
βHow To Speak English Like a Native SpeakerοΌβ
"How do you speak English like a native speaker?"
Hu Bingwen couldn't help but sigh: "This tone is really not small!"
But this kid is obviously still a student, why do you want to do English teaching courseware?
Is he going to teach students?!
Watching Xu Yiyang make PPT, Hu Bingwen found that the page layout, color layout and presentation form when he made PPT were very professional.
The PPT he has come into contact with is directly written in black on a white background with the most ordinary white background, and at most a picture is added, but it already makes people feel very powerful.
However, Xu Yiyang's operation is much more advanced.
In order to make PPT more beautiful, many of the text of the title class are not directly entered in PPT, but cut into Photoshop, rasterize the text in PS, and then add certain visual effects.
For example, in the title of "How To Speak English Like a Native Speaker?", Xu Yiyang beautified and adjusted the font of this string of English, added shadows, luster, and adjusted the angle, making this title a very three-dimensional visual effect.
In Hu Bingwen's view, this title is like making each letter into a real thing, and the effect is quite magical!
It is not only more beautiful, but also more imposing and artistic.
Seeing this, Hu Bingwen was even more surprised!
Cow, real cow!
Watching him do PPT is like taking a lesson on "how to do a good PPT", and the key is the advanced class course.
Moreover, after watching it for a while, Hu Bingwen found something that shocked him even more.
Xu Yiyang not only looks good in PPT, but also does the content in PPT very professionally.
No, it should be extremely professional!
He can see that Xu Yiyang is making a set of courseware to teach students how to speak well, and he only looks at a few pages of what he has done, and he feels that the content he has made is more professional than the officially published oral textbooks he has seen on the market!
Not only professional, but also in terms of teaching philosophy, knowledge points, key points and presentation methods, he also feels very advanced!
As far as these few pages of PPT are concerned, the level has reached its peak.
Hu Bingwen was extremely amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "What is this kid doing? Teacher? The age is wrong, college students? It's possible, but which college student's level can be so high?"
How did he know that the content that Xu Yiyang is now writing into the courseware is the accumulation of his English training for so many years.
This is not only his hard work, Gu Sijia's hard work, the hard work of so many English foreign teachers, but also the hard work of so many excellent training materials on the market.
Now he is the culmination of English speaking training for the next 20 years.
Hu Bingwen himself is a master of English education, so he can see at a glance that Xu Yiyang is different.
At this moment, he desperately wanted to know why this young man could have this ability at such a young age.
It just so happened that the position next to Xu Yiyang was still vacant, so he sat down next to Xu Yiyang quietly.
He was going to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Yiyang first, understand his general situation, and then talk to him by the way.
Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone in Xu Yiyang's pocket suddenly buzzed.
Xu Yiyang took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the landline number of Quancheng, so he guessed that it should be Billy Stone calling him.
After all, I only left the number to him.
Got on the phone, and as expected.
Billy Stone's voice came, and he asked in English, "Hey, Xu, are you back in Yingzhou?"
Xu Yiyang also replied in proficient English: "Hi, Billy, I'm already at the long-distance bus station now, take the train back at eleven o'clock, what's wrong, you have something to do with me?"
As soon as Xu Yiyang's words came out, Hu Bingwen was stunned.
Boy!
This kid even speaks standard British pronunciation!
With his speaking level, he should have no opponent in China Overseas Chinese University.
Even some of the English professors in the college may not have his standard of speaking.
At this time, Billy on the phone said to Xu Yiyang: "Xu, that's the case, I have a classmate and friend, who is also an international student, and she is very interested in the job you arranged for me, and wants me to ask you, do you still need people there?"
Xu Yiyang asked curiously: "May I ask what nationality she is from?"
"British. β
"That's good!" Xu Yiyang was overjoyed.
Americans and Britons are the best candidates to be foreign teachers, because the English pronunciation of these two countries is relatively the most standard, and in Australia, New Zealand or some European countries, English pronunciation is very magical.
If Billy can bring another British foreign teacher, then he will be more worry-free! At the same time, he can further expand the scale of Jiayang education!
So he asked Billy, "Is she graduating soon?"
"Yes!" said Billy Stone, "she's in a similar situation to me." β
As he spoke, Billy Stone hurriedly said, "Xu, if it's not convenient for you, I can give her half of my workload and half of my salary, do you think that's okay?"
Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "Billy, you don't need to do this, please tell your friend and let her come to Yingzhou with you on Thursday, and I will definitely arrange it for her at that time." β
Billy Stone excitedly said, "Thank you, thank you! I'll take her with me on Thursday!"
Xu Yiyang smiled: "Okay, then we'll see you on Thursday." β
"OK, see you on Thursday!"
Xu Yiyang hung up the phone and prepared to continue to bury himself in his courseware.
Hu Bingwen on the side looked at him with a little fanaticism, and his heart was already turbulent.
This kid is an all-rounder in English!
What the hell does he do?
The skill in producing the courseware is very high, the level of content compilation is even higher, and the standard of speaking is impeccable......
Could it be that it is a Chinese American who has lived overseas since childhood?
After all, without a good language environment and long-term training, it is difficult to practice such a good speaking level.
And Xu Yiyang doesn't seem to be very old, so he can only explain it like this.
Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Yiyang had just hung up the phone and had not put on the headphones, Hu Bingwen finally couldn't hold it back and asked Xu Yiyang: "Young man, what are you messing with?"
Xu Yiyang looked sideways and found that there was an old man in his sixties and seventies sitting next to him, looking at him curiously.
He thought that the other party was just an old man with a lot of curiosity, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, just do something to use in learning." β
Hu Bingwen nodded, he guessed that Xu Yiyang might not think he understood, so he responded vaguely.
In fact, he could see that what Xu Yiyang was doing was not something for study, but something for lecturing.
So, he asked tentatively: "Young man, I heard that you answered the phone in English just now, did you grow up overseas?"
Xu Yiyang shook his head: "I have never been abroad at all. β
"Huh, haven't been abroad?"
Hu Bingwen was shocked, and all his previous judgments were overturned.
He couldn't help but ask again: "Then in your family, has anyone in your family studied abroad?"
Xu Yiyang said in his heart, my wife has studied abroad, but I can't tell you this.
So, he shook his head again: "No, none of the relatives in the family have ever been abroad." β
Hu Bingwen felt a little big, what was going on?
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Xu Yiyang, an English all-rounder, must be a college student from the English Academy.
Two of the best English colleges in the country are the foreign Chinese universities in Zhonghai and Yenching.
I haven't heard that there is such a number one person in China and Overseas, and it is estimated that ninety percent of this kid is a top student at Yenjing Foreign Chinese University.
So, he pushed his glasses, looked at Xu Yiyang and asked, "You should be a college student, right?
As a result, Xu Yiyang shook his head again: "I'm still in my third year of high school." β
