像我這樣一學(xué)期默默無(wú)聞的學(xué)生，一本居然叫出了我的名字，我活了！”

一位國(guó)際傳播學(xué)學(xué)生在校園偶遇“一本老師”后，在朋友圈寫道。

在寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)，國(guó)際傳播學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)生們都非常喜歡這位“一本老師”。去年，他在B站上直播，全程屏幕上火箭、愛心齊飛，足見他的受歡迎程度。

這位學(xué)生們口中的“一本老師”本名馬乙犇（讀音bēn），是寧諾英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言教學(xué)中心（CELE）一年級(jí)國(guó)際傳播學(xué)學(xué)術(shù)導(dǎo)師。他還是寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)第一屆畢業(yè)生，在英國(guó)完成博士學(xué)位后，選擇回到母校當(dāng)一名學(xué)科引路人。

是教師，也是學(xué)長(zhǎng)

英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言教學(xué)中心是學(xué)生開啟大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)之旅的第一站。中心的老師們?yōu)樾律�提供扎�?shí)而全面的學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)指導(dǎo)和專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)課程，幫助他們?nèi)谌胗⑹酱髮W(xué)的學(xué)術(shù)環(huán)境、順利過(guò)渡到全英文的專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)和寫作中去。馬乙犇就是國(guó)際傳播學(xué)專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)課程《媒體與文本：社會(huì)》和《媒體與文本：文化》的教師。

“對(duì)很多學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，結(jié)束高考，忽然進(jìn)入一個(gè)全新的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，使用不同語(yǔ)言和不同思維方式，其中的困難我深有體會(huì)，因?yàn)槲易约阂苍��?jīng)是寧諾的學(xué)生”，馬乙犇說(shuō)，“我覺(jué)得非常幸運(yùn)，可以從自身的角度去和現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生分享我曾經(jīng)遇到的一些困難，和克服它們的經(jīng)歷�！�

他認(rèn)為，大一是學(xué)生對(duì)所學(xué)專業(yè)產(chǎn)生基本認(rèn)知，培養(yǎng)興趣的關(guān)鍵時(shí)期。教師作為引路人應(yīng)該盡可能地培養(yǎng)和激發(fā)學(xué)生對(duì)學(xué)科的興趣�！拔易约菏菍W(xué)生的時(shí)候，上過(guò)很多有趣的課，知道哪種教學(xué)方式是我喜歡的。所以我在教學(xué)的時(shí)候，必須從學(xué)生的角度去考慮。在同時(shí)掌握了學(xué)生和老師的視角后，課堂就會(huì)有趣一些�！�

“一本老師”直播中

不止一位學(xué)生在采訪中提到，一本的課堂互動(dòng)性強(qiáng)，需要進(jìn)行大量的課后閱讀，從而形成自己獨(dú)特的思考。大三國(guó)際傳播學(xué)學(xué)生劉菲菲就評(píng)價(jià)，“一本是我進(jìn)大學(xué)以來(lái)認(rèn)識(shí)的第一個(gè)專業(yè)課老師，應(yīng)該就是他把我‘領(lǐng)上道’的吧。在正式上國(guó)際傳播學(xué)之前，我其實(shí)完全不清楚這個(gè)專業(yè)是學(xué)什么的，填志愿也是全憑直覺(jué)。他讓我了解了這個(gè)學(xué)科，從而重塑了我看待這個(gè)世界的方式。這樣的體驗(yàn)是我在讀大學(xué)之前的學(xué)習(xí)生活中從未有過(guò)的�！�

討論課上與學(xué)生們合影

一本正經(jīng)卻可可愛愛

在同學(xué)們眼中，馬乙犇是非常嚴(yán)厲的。劉菲菲記得，課上他經(jīng)常向大家提問(wèn)，小組討論時(shí)不準(zhǔn)講中文。每周都會(huì)有兩個(gè)任務(wù)。一個(gè)是根據(jù)閱讀材料的內(nèi)容思考和回答一些問(wèn)題，另一個(gè)就是進(jìn)行展示匯報(bào)。有一次因?yàn)榕R近論文截止期，班上大部分同學(xué)都沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備展示匯報(bào)�！八�的語(yǔ)氣瞬間變得低沉，能感覺(jué)到他的失望，一下課就背起包走了。當(dāng)然，其實(shí)這是一本對(duì)教學(xué)負(fù)責(zé)的一面，他希望我們真正學(xué)到東西�！�

馬乙犇表示，其實(shí)每一次討論課對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)都非常有意義。他希望學(xué)生們能參與到學(xué)術(shù)討論中，并期待在課堂上發(fā)生觀點(diǎn)碰撞�！爱�(dāng)學(xué)生通過(guò)自己的觀察，提出了一些特別的想法，或者是質(zhì)疑我的觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，我會(huì)覺(jué)得非常高興。有的學(xué)生可能覺(jué)得課堂上還沒(méi)有“過(guò)癮”，會(huì)在我辦公時(shí)間繼續(xù)找我討論相關(guān)問(wèn)題。我非常樂(lè)意和他們坐下來(lái)再聊一個(gè)小時(shí)。”

不過(guò)，課堂上一本正經(jīng)的馬乙犇，生活中卻有一些反差萌。他的學(xué)生孫浩寧說(shuō)，“一本老師看起來(lái)一本正經(jīng)的，但是偶爾夾帶一點(diǎn)小幽默，就顯得格外有趣。反差的點(diǎn)在于他居然還是個(gè)廚神，非常喜歡自己搗鼓美食�！�

馬乙犇做的海鮮意面

和班尼迪克蛋

支持和尊重學(xué)生

作為寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)的第一屆畢業(yè)生，本科畢業(yè)后，馬乙犇去往倫敦國(guó)王學(xué)院讀研，后在利茲大學(xué)完成博士學(xué)位。巧合的是，他的博士生導(dǎo)師是當(dāng)時(shí)在利茲任教的Gary Rawnsley教授，現(xiàn)為寧諾人文社科學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)。

馬乙犇說(shuō)，博士畢業(yè)后，了解到母校有這樣一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，他沒(méi)有任何猶豫就來(lái)了�！拔易x書的時(shí)候，遇到了許多良師，他們給了我非常多的鼓勵(lì)和支持。我在英國(guó)求學(xué)的時(shí)候，遇到學(xué)術(shù)和生活上的困難，他們也會(huì)盡己所能地幫助我�！�

他說(shuō)，他深知教師對(duì)學(xué)生的這種影響力。所以他一直告訴學(xué)生多做一些思考，學(xué)會(huì)問(wèn)問(wèn)題，勇于接受挑戰(zhàn)；同時(shí)也鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生相信自己，每個(gè)人都有著獨(dú)一無(wú)二的閃光點(diǎn)。

馬乙犇告訴我們，入職時(shí)，他給自己定了一個(gè)小目標(biāo)——記住每一個(gè)教過(guò)的學(xué)生的名字。而隨著他教過(guò)的學(xué)生越來(lái)越多，這件事變得越來(lái)越困難�！艾F(xiàn)在差不多已經(jīng)有近八百人了。但我會(huì)盡量記住上過(guò)我討論課的學(xué)生的名字。因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得能叫出學(xué)生的名字，是對(duì)學(xué)生的尊重�！�

Alumnus becomes a popular tutor at UNNC

“I was quite surprised and happy when Yiben called my name, as I was just a super ordinary one of his numerous students,” said a student after meeting Dr Yiben Ma on campus. Dr Yiben Ma is the Preliminary Year Content Tutor for International Communications (IC) at the Centre for English Language Education (CELE), University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), and is quite popular among his students. He is one of the first cohort of graduates from UNNC and returned to be a tutor after finishing his doctoral studies in the UK.

CELE is the first stop for new students, providing them with comprehensive academic English guidance and helping them to transit smoothly to an English teaching environment. Dr Ma is the convenor of the two preliminary IC content modules.

"It is very challenging for many students to adapt to a new learning environment in which they have to use a different language and develop different ways of thinking,” says Dr Ma. Being one of former students at UNNC, he feels privileged to be able to share his own experience with students and helps them overcome these challenges.

He believes that Year 1 is a crucial period for students to foster basic understanding and interest in the subject they choose to learn. As a tutor, he tries to guide and inspire students’ interest. “When preparing for teaching, I need to think from the perspectives of the students. This enables me to make the class more attractive,” Dr Ma says.

Many students say that his classes are very interactive and involve a lot of readings which help them develop critical thinking abilities. “Dr Ma made me understand the subject and reshaped my perspective. I have never had this experience before,” said Feifei Liu, a year 3 IC student.

Dr Ma takes every class and student seriously. Feifei recalled that one time, many classmates did not prepare for the weekly presentation due to another approaching deadline. “We could feel his disappointment at that moment. I know it was because he wants us to really learn something,” said Feifei.

Dr Ma also considers every seminar an academic site for exchanging ideas. He encourages his students to engage in discussions and share their own thoughts. “I am delighted to hear their own perspectives and more than happy to discuss those ideas that challenge mine. I don’t mind spending another hour sitting down with them and discussing those topics they feel interested in,” Dr Ma says.

“When I was a student myself, I was very lucky to know and to be taught by many good teachers who gave me generous support. So, I know well what a good teacher means to a student.” Therefore, when he gained the opportunity to teach at his alma mater, he accepted it without hesitation. “I’m happy to share my experiences, both successful ones and unsuccessful ones, to encourage students to think from different perspectives, be inquisitive and have confidence in themselves. They are all unique,” Dr Ma says.

As a teacher, Dr Ma set a goal for himself – to remember the name of every student that he taught. “It is getting more and more difficult as the number nears 800, but I think this shows respect to the students.”
