Shvets Lidia 4 year student Currently, I'm studying English and German language and literature at the Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University. Teaching ESL students is my current and future occupation. I enjoy working with children of all ages and so I decided to try myself in Chinese. I’ve been studying it for a year and I found it rather challenging. Nevertheless I gained even more motivation to become a good user of this rich language. As a student I was very determined and diligent. I always had some kind of eagerness to study and so spend many hours practicing and looking for extra information. At the first academic year I organized the debate club for our students that was a great opportunity to develop their communicational skills. During last two years I participated in several All-Crimean and All-Russian conferences and competitions devoted to English language and methods of teaching it. Also I published several research works and abstracts considering linguistics, literature and methodology. Finally I managed to combine my excellent marks with a part-time job as teacher. What I'm driving at, is that I have a strong desire to learn Chinese and become more aware of this ancient culture. Unfortunately, there is no center in Crimea that would provide the information and activity to those who are interested in them. We have hardly any teacher of this language and no native speakers to practice. So if I would have the possibility to become a proficient teacher, I will do my best to organize such center in our region. As far as I know, the relationships between Russia and China are getting stronger and in nearest future there is expected a big amount of Chinese tourists and workers. Therefore we should be ready to build an efficient communication between our nations. My sphere of research would be connected with the difference in Chinese way of teaching, the alternative methods and sources of teaching, the understanding of culture and mentality through literary process, as I am strongly interested in it. Gradually the interest for Chinese is growing bigger and there have to be opportunities to provide the future learners with desired teachers. My aim is to create the space, where those who are eсxited with Chinese would be able to share there knowledge and experience with curious ones and thus spread the passion for this culture.
