Implementing a “5-i” show project in large EFL classes: Perceptions, practice & challenges
Project-based learning (PBL) has been believed beneficial for learner autonomy in that it requires learners to actively participate and take responsibility in the learning process. While interest and research in PBL is growing, few empirical studies have been found investigating the application of PBL in China, and fewer have explored large EFL classes in tertiary institutions. This presentation reports on a longitudinal study of promoting learner autonomy through a 5i (intriguing, informing, involving, interactive, and inspiring) Show project.
The study is conducted over an academic year in a Chinese university with six large non-English major classes (approximately 80 students in each). It is currently in progress and to be completed in August, 2018. With preliminary findings from a questionnaire conducted among a larger number of students, data for this study is collected through a follow-up questionnaire and semi-structured interviews.
The presentation will report in greater detail on the project in relation to its design and classroom operation, including the strategies adopted by the teachers, students’ receptiveness, achievements and perceptions, as well as challenges encountered by both the participating teachers and students. It is hoped that the project can have practical implications for both classroom teachers utilising PBL in similar contexts and researchers for further exploration in this area

On the U P road (2008); Palace (2008). Exhibited in Indelible: Recent works by Xi’An Artists and Media Arts Researchers.27 October - 9 December 2018
Wintec School of Media Arts lecturers and their counterparts, artists from Xi’an Art Museum in Xi’an, mainland China, have built close artistic relationships. This exhibition is a result of their long-distance communications. Here their works converse with the audience and with each other. Throughout the course of the exhibition, it is hoped that they will build a new international community within their show and with you
Design pipe bracket for vessel with using Titanium metal in marine environment
The research investigates the design and utilization of the pipe bracket with titanium metal for the ocean going vessel to confront marine environment. The main aim of this report is to study the performance of titanium metal compared with other materials when they are being used in marine environment .Another aim of this report is to design pipe bracket for the ocean going vessel, then did the simulation and calculation of the loads which applied on the pipe bracket. The studying of my aims were targeted during all the phases of this project.
This report has gone through several stages so that be achieved. The first phase was referring the gathering information about the primary mechanical properties of titanium metal as light weight, flexible and strong resistance to corrosion. The different corrosion properties of pipe material and how they interact together with titanium metal or sea water. The second phase was concerning three different pipe types (rigid support, adjustable support, elastic support) and choose the type of adjustable due to it makes easily assemble due to nuts and bolts could be rearranged for adjusting the support when using on the vessel. Mention the Standard pipe size for using in different place and having a design drawing of my pipe bracket. The next phase was doing mechanical analysis of my bracket model on the Solidworks program and maximum loads which were applied on the bracket were calculated by using related formulas. The last phase was considering the manufacturing process for the pipe bracket and having the primary cost for making and selling it
