The clarifier

I can try to explain the concept of what the lecturer just taught with some specific examples or demonstration.

But I sometimes struggle on the choice for providing examples since there are some foreign students in our EMI class, who don't actually understand what I just demonstrated.

Therefore, I also want to be a cultural builder, trying to eliminate the gap between students and teachers.

Sometimes when I finish the preparation (slides or worksheets), they don't meet the lecturer's expectation. (Different perspectives)

I have seen one professor (my homeroom teacher)using the platform named "classpoint" to show his slide. When he wants to ask the question to us, we can reply it through our mobile phone 📱
