Entrevistamos a la profesora del Instituto Confucio UNLP Krystal Zhang, quién actualmente se encuentra dictando clases de idioma chino de forma virtual o digital a estudiantes de todo el país desde nuestra ciudad de La Plata por la pandemia global del COVID- 19.

P -¿Cómo es dictar clases online?
ZK -In this special periods, there is no way for online teaching. This is a new way of teaching Chinese. Although there are lots of limitations,

it is not bad in a way.
P -¿Qué aplicaciones o redes utilizan?
ZK - Now we are using "ZOOM" and "JITSI" before.
P -¿Cómo preparas las clases?
ZK -Making a Powerpoint of the course before class and giving them some homework after class. We often use WhatsApp to communicate with students if they have any questions.
P -¿Cómo recibieron los alumnos el dictado de clases online?
ZK -For the students who are from other cities, this is a nice try for them. They can break the regional restrictions to learn Chinese; for the local students, online courses are a bit cumbersome and often interfered by the network or applications.
P -¿A cuántos alumnos y niveles de chino dictas clases actualmente?
ZK -Level 3, 31 students totally.
P -¿Qué recomendarías a un alumno/a que quiera estudiar chino?
ZK -Make sure to practice speaking more by yourself. It is not enough to rely on the teacher and the classroom. Watching more TV series and news usually helps a lot to learn Chinese.
P -Y, por último ¿qué querrías decirle al pueblo chino y al argentino en este contexto de Pandemia Global?
ZK -The world today is a Community of Shared Future for Mankind， no matter what happens, China will be with Argentina! I hope that we can overcome the difficulties and return to normal our life as soon as possible.
P-Gracias.
