When we think of debate, we can't help but think of Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, Napoleon Hill and Susan Brownell Anthony. As great debaters, they all played a pivotal role in the development of society.
On the afternoon of December 28th, Dr. MAC, foreign teacher of Anqing Foreign Language School’s International Department, interpreted the movie ‘the Great Debaters’ with all the English teachers of Anqing Foreign Language School in the drama theater of the Culture and Sports Hall. Director Xu Zuitai of the International Department presided over this activity, during which the teachers not only discussed the language and techniques of debate used in the film, but also deeply analyzed several important characters in the film. Through discussion and analysis, we can see the awakening of self-consciousness and the pursuit of ideal society of African Americans. From coming to the United States as slaves, to achieving success in all walks of life, becoming Secretaries of State and Presidents, it is the result of their tireless struggle for generations.
To put it in a nutshell, in this English corner activity, foreign teacher MAC gave a wonderful explanations and interacted with the teachers frequently, which benefited everyone a lot.
