How to ask name in Mandarin?
Getting to know someone else isn’t always that simple — especially when it is in another language. Trying to speak even just a few sentences in the native language of a foreigner you want to get to know, always shows your interest and respect to that person. And as we all know – It is all about the first impression while meeting someone for the first time.
Therefore, TutorMandarin wants to give you some examples how to get started.
Today, we want to give you a short overview how you can introduce yourself and others so that you can start to learn Chinese language. To make it as easy as possible we will show you some examples including the English translation, Chinese characters, and pinyin (the pronunciation).

Every student can learn Chinese effectively. However, every student has their own learning style and teachers must adjust content, assessment and process to suit the students.
Owning the Stage: Using Dramatic Theory to Improve Teaching, LOEX 2014Lindsey Rae
William Shakespeare said “All the world’s a stage, / […] And one man in his time plays many parts.” That statement rings true in the classroom, and as librarians teaching one-shot sessions, we have many parts to play. This presentation focuses on utilizing dramatic theory to improve three interconnected principles of acting and teaching: connection, communication and confidence. From the perspectives of both educator and actor, intent is at the core of communication. Drawing from the literature and personal experience, this presentation will demonstrate through examples how the tenets of acting can help us better connect with students.

This experiential workshop considers dramatic techniques and games to help students to enjoy literature, to understand more and to develop competent literacy skills.

The kinaesthetic approach, collaborative group work, thematic studies, presentation techniques and interactive learning and teaching will be modelled.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Challenges
6. Voice and Exaggeration
Tone
Tone is the manner in which you speak and the quality of the sound that
your vocal chords produce.
Vocal tone is something that can be adjusted to a teacher’s advantage.
When wanting to convey a warmer tone, smile as you speak.
For delivering expectations, a more formal tone should be used.
Think of your formal tone as your “professional” tone.

8. Volume
Most teachers talk too loud. They turn up
the volume because they believe that the
louder they are the better their students
will listen.
But it isn’t true.
Students tune out teachers who
bark commands and
instructions.
Vary the volume of your voice.
