A master of English education in China,Chen Lin just celebrated his 100th birthday in April.Chen has spent his whole life on English education.
In 1950,Chen started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU).He was known as the "Professor of Three Ups".He always put importance on "standing up" and "speaking up" in his classes.He always stood to teach and talked loudly.When class was over,he would "shut up" at once.
Chen's good teaching impressed students.Li Jinzhao,one of Chen's students and a teacher at BFSU now,said Chen likes role-playing and singing to make the class active.It was different from the "teacher speaks,students listen" style of the time.He also encouraged students to speak more and practice more.
In 1999,Chen led experts to make English curriculum standards.Before that,English teaching goals from primary school to university didn't connect well with each other.But the standards changed it.Then,English education worked like "one package (一條龍)".He also wrote the first set of textbooks to carry out the new standards.
After leaving his job,Chen keeps on working.He reads and writes about how to improve English teaching.He once said, "I have been a teacher all my life,and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life."
