No.2 High School of Jinan 2004-11-3
According to the sister-school
agreement signed by Jinan No 2 High School and Vaskivuori Upper Secondary
School, Mr Jukka Lehtinen, a music teacher from Vantaa Vaskivuori Upper
Secondary School comes to our school for a two-week teaching from Oct
11th to Nov 7 in the year 2004. The main jobs Mr Lehtinen does here
are directing the chorus of No 2 High School, giving oral English lessons
to students and teaching Finnish.
During Mr Lehtinen's stay in Jinan, his excellent
teaching ideas and arts quality as well as devoted working attitude
leave a deep impression on the mind of both the teachers and students
in our school. We have gained a lot from him.
From 0ct15th to Nov 3, Mr Lehtinen directs the
chorus of No. 2 High School carefully and devotedly. Every day the 90
minutes' rehearsal is fulfilled with high efficiency and good quality.
The students practise carefully and make notable improvement.
During the four weeks' teaching in No 2 High
School, Mr Lehtinen gives lectures on Finnish education to more than
1000 students from 20 classes. His rich teaching materials and interacting
teaching ways are well received.
Every week Mr Lehtinen gives Finnish lessons
to teachers. He uses proper teaching book and methods to help our teachers
learn simple Finnish in the limited time.
Mr Lehtinen gives a public music lesson to all
the music teachers in Jinan on Nov. 2 . Through his lecture, we know
more about music teaching ideology in Finland and learn some useful
teaching ways.
With the combined efforts that China and Finland have made, Mr Jukka
Lehtinen completes his teaching successfully. On Nov 2 and 3, the chorus
of No 2 High School gives three performances, two for students and one
for the school faculty and parents. Mr Liu Yuangang, director of Jinan
Education Bureau attends the performances. The harmonious and beautiful
singing wins the warm applauses of the audience. Music is like a bridge
that reaches the understanding and communication between the people
in China and Finland. What we have done and got in the foreign affairs
are highly appreciated by the authorities.
As a friendly envoy, Mr Jukka is warmly welcome
by Jinan Municipal Government, Jinan Education Bureau, and the Municipal
Foreign Affairs Office. Vice mayor Mr Wang Tianyi, vice director of
municipal government office Mr Qi jia, Director of Jinan Education Bureau
Mr Liu Yuangang and vice director Chen dongsheng meet and entertain
Mr Jukka separately They thank what Jukka has done for strengthening
the friendship between Chinese and Finnish people.
Mr Jukka Lehtine has a great interest in Chinese
culture. During his stay in Jinan, he visits Jinan bilingual school,
the folklore garden and historic spots Qufu and lingyan Temple. China's
long-standing history, abundant products and friendly people strikes
our Finnish people deeply.
The four-week teaching exchange activities enhance
the cooperation and communication between our two cities as well as
two schools, which also lays positive foundation for the further cooperation.
We believe our exchanges in the future will be more typical and
This activity broadens our views and makes our school more opening and
internationalized. Through the contact with Mr Jukka Lehtinen, the students
study more actively, they begin to realize the importance of self-discipline
and self-management. At the same time they get to know the European
culture and learn more about Finland and Finnish people.
