· I believe that the best way to teach is make the learning opportunities relevant to the students and involve them in the learning process, to provoke their natural curiosity and sense of challenge. Experiential, inquiry-based methods combined with solid ATL skills development and application allow students to become self sufficient learners, which allows teachers to create learning opportunities for deeper levels of understanding and exploration.        

我认为，最好的教学方式是让学习机会与学生的生活息息相关，并让他们积极参与学习过程，从而激发他们与生俱来的好奇心和挑战精神。将体验式、探究式教学方法与扎实的ATL技能培养及应用相结合，能使学生成为自主学习者，从而让教师能够创造学习机会，帮助学生实现更深层次的理解与探索。
