Qiu Huilin
Bio
Qiu Huilin is from Huaihua, China and received her bachelor’s degree in English education from Huaihua College. She has been an English teacher at Zhishi Middle School since 2018. Outside of teaching she enjoys traveling, swimming, snorkeling, singing, cooking and horse-back riding. During her year in the United States, she is looking forward to experiencing as much as possible, such as celebrating Christmas, attending American football games, graduation ceremonies and weddings or any other local occasion. She hopes to share Spring Festival traditions with her students and other Chinese cultural traditions, such as Chinese tea, art, food and music. Her primary objective for participating in the Teachers of Critical Languages Program is to observe typical American classes and to learn new skills such as classroom management and teaching methods. In addition, she hopes to build a bridge between her home school and host school and believes it will be mutually beneficial for her students in America and China. Ms. Qiu will be hosted by California Area High School in Coal Center, PA.
