Among them, Ye Zixuan won the National Grand Prize, while Sun Xinzi and Mao Jiale won the National First Prize, fully showcasing the outstanding comprehensive English proficiency of NJCIT's students.During the preparation period, three teachers from the English Teaching and Research Section of the Department of Basic Courses, Lu Dongmei, Zhao Xiaoyun, and Xie Zhongyi, provided comprehensive and detailed specialized tutoring to the participating students. The three teachers developed specialized tutoring plans based on the competition requirements, conducted targeted training on key test points, provided one-on-one Q&A sessions for students' weak areas, and organized practice sessions with past exam papers and reviews of mistakes during their spare time, offering professional support for the students' competition preparation.

These awards fully demonstrate the quality of English teaching and the effectiveness of competition-based education at the Department of Basic Courses of NJCIT. In the future, the Department of Basic Courses will continue to focus on improving teaching quality, enhance the competition tutoring system, and build a platform for students' capacity development, adhering to the principle of promoting teaching and learning through competitions to steadily improve students' comprehensive English abilities!
