"Before, I used to focus on the form of speech and lectures while the teaching effect was unsatisfying: the classroom was quiet and the students seemed uninterested, many even playing on their phones in class," said Chen.
To stir the enthusiasm of students, Chen decided to put on a costume and turn the class into a stage to perform. With traditional garments and brandishing water sleeves, students are immersed in the world of Jiangxi Opera.
Instead of adopting the traditional form of stage play, Chen devotes more attention to her students' interactive experience. "I invite my students to come to the stage and experience the whole process of the performance by themselves," Chen added.
