The Distinguished Teaching Award highlights SUSTech’s commitment to teaching excellence and is awarded annually to selected outstanding faculty members. Several faculty members are honored each year for their work with students. Recipients are chosen based on a variety of criteria including but not limited to mastery of the subject matter; ability to engage students both within and outside of the classroom; and innovations in course and curriculum design. They are presented with a certificate and a monetary award.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that one of the CLE team has been recognised in 2016. Siqun XU (Adrian), who is a lecturer of English at the Centre of Language Education, has been awarded this for his teaching excellence. He enriches the classroom through meaningful and creative teaching approaches and mentors students through independent and creative thinking. Congratulations Adrian!
