That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in for seventeen years, I had no about my ability to hold their attention and toimpress on them my for the literature of my mother tongue. As I entered the room, I was when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement. I asked my students to keep as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How they say I didn’t teach them anything?” It was a long term, and it became clear that my ideas about were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference! , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
