About her topics:
The Theory and Practice of Classroom Activities Design
According to the research findings from Theory of Multiple Intelligence (Gardner, 1983) and Cone of Learning (Edgar Dale, 1946), organizing class activities is of vital importance to improving students’ performance. Therefore, it is also one important aspect of a teacher’s teaching competence to effectively organize class activities. In this lecture, the methods and techniques in organizing class activities will be highlighted through explaining and demonstrating various types of cases on organizing class activities.
课堂活动设计的理论与实践：
根据多元智能理论和学习金字塔的研究成果，组织课堂活动对于提高学生的学习效果至关重要。因此，有效地组织课堂活动也是教师教学能力的一个重要方面。本次讲座将通过讲解并演练多种形式的课堂活动案例来重点介绍汉语课堂活动组织的方法和技巧。

Classic International Chinese Language Teaching Methodology
When it comes to Secondary Language Teaching Methodology, there are numerous schools with diverse features. In this lecture, according to the concept of Communicative Approach, we will put emphasis on 3P (Presentation-Practice-Production) Teaching Procedure, Task-Based/Supported Teaching Procedure, and Teaching-under-Subject Method, by the illustrations of which, together with case studies, we will discover pragmatic guidance for our teaching practice.
国际汉语经典教学法介绍：
第二语言教学法流派众多，各具特色。本次讲座将重点介绍交际法教学理念下的3P教学法、任务型教学法和主题式教学模式，通过讲解它们的教学流程、方法并分析教学案例，来为汉语教学实践提供实际的指导。

About their topic:
During the workshop "Introduction SWPBS", we explain the framework of SWPBS using the five pillars:

1. Working schoolwide based on shared values
2. Prevention is key: prevent problem behavior as much as possible
3. Positive approach: to strengthen and reward expected behavior on the basis of clear, unambiguous expectations regarding behavior
4. Work systematically based on data
5. Partnership with parents and cooperation with the entire healthcare sector

We demonstrate what the effect of the implementation of PBS in schools is and let the participants experience what the effect of a positive approach truly entails.
