2005级学生邓琪珍回顾母校岁月

交大给我的。。。

2005级学生邓琪珍

       2009年我毕业于西南交通大学外国语学院的英语本科专业。对我来说，四年的大学生活是重要而有意义的阶段。它为我提供了一个认识朋友和导师的平台，他们来自全国各地不同的文化和地理背景。它为我提供了学习英语语言，文化，和文学的机会。这里的教授和讲师为学生着想，他们也热衷于研究工作。每年夏天的实习机让我找到了我的兴趣：英语教学。这个兴趣也让我决定到美国进修语言习得专业。

       在2011年我毕业于内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校的教育学硕士学位。现在，我是教育及人文科学学院的一名博士生。我的研究领域主要包括英语词汇习得，阅读，写作，动机和技术，以及教师教育。林肯的生活既愉快又忙碌。有很多来自世界各地的朋友和导师。我的导师们非常支持我的学术研究和工作。对我来说，出国接受高等教育给我提供了机会，让我去了解自己和自己的文化背景的，学习人类学习的科学，学习新的思想和观点，以扩大我的世界观。

I graduated from Southwest Jiaotong University with Bachelor’s degree in English from the college of Foreign Language in 2009. The four year of college life was an important and meaningful phase for me. It provided me with a platform to know and build life-long valuable relationships with friends and mentors from different cultural and geographical backgrounds across the country. It provided me the chance to immerse myself into the world of English language, culture, and literature. Professors and instructors were considerate for students and passionate about their own research work. The internship opportunities during each summer afforded us professional experiences, through which I found my interest in teaching English to language learners. This interest guided me to pursue further education in the area of language acquisition in the United States.

I earned my master’s degree in Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education in 2011. Currently I am a 3^rd-year doctoral student in the College of Education and Human Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My research areas mainly include English vocabulary acquisition, reading, writing, motivation, and technology integration, and teacher education. Life in Lincoln is both enjoyable and busy. I’ve phenomenal and supportive friends and mentors from all around the world. Friends are like my families sometimes when I get homesick. My mentors have always been supportive for my academic studying and working, for which I am mostly occupied. The greatest thing for pursuing a higher education abroad, for me, is probably the opportunity to understand myself and my own cultural backgrounds better, to study the science of human learning more thoroughly, and to expand my worldview by learning new ideas and perspectives.
