My name is Siqiao Fu, and I'm from Zhejiang. One of my greatest passions is traveling—I've always been fascinated by different cultures and ways of life, and my dream is to travel around the world one day. I believe that experiencing diverse perspectives not only enriches our knowledge but also helps us become more empathetic and open-minded individuals.

In my past studies, I've had the opportunity to engage with international curricula that have broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of global issues.

This semester, I'm particularly excited about EDS429. I hope to learn about innovative educational practices, explore how to create inclusive and culturally responsive learning environments, and collaborate with my peers and educators to develop meaningful teaching strategies. I also look forward to learning from others' experiences, as I believe that our collective journeys can inspire new ideas and approaches in education.

Hello everyone! My name is Jiaying Ni, and I am from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Currently, I am working as a junior high school English teacher in my hometown, where I have accumulated four years of teaching experience. I hold a bachelor’s degree in English Literature, during which I developed a foundation in British and American history, poetry, literary studies, pragmatics, as well as advanced writing and listening skills.

While my academic and professional background has primarily focused on domestic education, I have yet to explore the realm of international education. This semester, I am eager to gain a deeper understanding of curriculum design from an international perspective. Specifically, I aim to explore the development of theoretical frameworks for international curricula, engage with case studies, and learn how to conduct comparative analyses of national and regional curricula.

Additionally, I am particularly interested in acquiring strategies to support language learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in international classroom settings.

Hello everyone! My name is Ziling Wang, and I’m from Anhui Province. I’m passionate about connecting with nature, observing plants and animals, and spending time outdoors. My career goal is to become a Chinese language teacher. While I don’t have formal work experience yet, I’m currently interning at the elementary school division of Soochow Foreign Language School.

I completed my bachelor’s degree in Chinese Language and Literature and had no prior exposure to international curricula before joining XJTLU. My academic background focused on traditional Chinese linguistics, literature, and pedagogy.

This semester, I hope to explore the design and assessment frameworks of international curricula, such as the content and regulations of IB examinations.

Additionally, I aim to learn how to adapt my expertise in Chinese language education to design engaging, globally minded lesson plans for diverse classrooms.

I'm from the northeast of China. My career path may be an international school teacher or a regular high school teacher. I have never taken an international course in the past. I majored in English as an undergraduate. Through this semester's course, I want to learn more about international schools. I am currently interning at an international high school. I think if I know more, I can perform better in the internship, and I have never been in this field before. However, international high schools are still relatively popular at present, because the college entrance examination is becoming more and more difficult. Many parents choose to enroll their children in international high schools and then go abroad. Therefore, I am very interested in learning more about its curriculum system, and more importantly, the teaching method.

My name is Lanze. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. I am originally from Leuven, Belgium, where I completed my bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral studies in educational sciences at KU Leuven. Before joining XJTLU, I taught in an international preparatory programme and contributed to its curriculum committee. My research has focused on digitalised curricula in Europe, and I have published in journals such as Curriculum Inquiry.

This semester, I am keen to explore resources about curriculum design and studies. I am especially interested in hearing about the education you have experienced in the past and that you are going to design this semester! I hope to learn more about how curricula are implemented or realised in local classrooms; I find hearing about what (future) practitioners say and do in the real world to be one of the most interesting parts of my job. I look forward to hearing about typical international curricula as well as the Waldorf Curriculum, since my primary and high school followed such a curriculum.
