伴随着全球化浪潮的日益推进，世界上不同的国家正紧密结合在一起。

With the rapid development of globalization, different countries in the world are closely linked.

全球化带来了前所未有的合作和竞争，无论是从本土还是全球的角度，我们都渴望为全球公民履行自身的义务，也更加珍惜这个与我们息息相关的世界。

No matter from the local or global perspectives, globalization has brought unprecedented cooperation and competition. Meanwhile, we are eager to fulfill our obligations for being global citizens and cherish the world closely related with us.

因此，国际理解教育受到大家青睐，而我们作为教育工作者的职责尤为明确：培养学生适应社会发展的变化，从“文化理解，社会理解，信息表达”等方面，正确认识自己，尊重他人，学会交流与合作，具有团队精神，理解文化的多样性，初步具有面向世界的开放意识。这也是嘉峪关学校国际理解社团创立的初衷。

Therefore, International Understanding Education is favored by all, and our responsibilities as educators are particularly clear, which include students should be trained to adapt to the changes of social development. From the aspects of cultural understanding, social understanding and information expression, students should correctly understand themselves, respect others, learn to communicate and cooperate, have team spirit, understand the diversity of culture, and have a basic open sense of facing the world. This is also our original intention of founding the International Understanding Club of Jiayuguan School.

我们选用由剑桥大学出版社教育专家Herbert Puchta及其团队精心雕琢的以开发智力、强化思维、师生互动为特色的系列英语教学课程--《剑桥少儿英语 Super Minds》作为带领孩子们理解这个世界的课程载体。

We chose a series of English textbooks named Super minds, which are elaborately designed by Herbert Puchta, an education expert of Cambridge University Press, and his team, with the characteristics of developing intelligence, strengthening thinking ability and teacher-student interaction as the course carrier to lead children to understand the world.

此系列课程不仅能培养学生的英语能力，而且重点发展让学生终身受益的思考能力、创造能力、大脑记忆能力和精神注意力，使学生的大脑得以最有效的开发。

The series of courses can not only cultivate students' English ability, but also focus on the development of thinking ability, creative ability, memory ability and mental attention ability that benefit students for life, so that students' brain can be most effectively developed.

课程内容围绕小主人公们探索世界的历程而展开，故事情节趣味十足，充分激发学生学习兴趣，同时使学生的修养和素质在潜移默化中得到塑造和提升。随着课程难度的增加，还能够了解各个国家的政治、文化、地理，经济等知识。不仅提高了英语能力，还达到了各国人民之间相互理解和相互关心。

The content of the course revolves around the story about the process of the little heroes' exploring the world. The story is full of attractions, which is fully arousing the students' interest in learning. At the same time, it is shaping and improving the students' personal accomplishment and quality in a subtle way. With the increase of the difficulty of the course, students can also understand the politics, culture, geography, economy and other knowledge about different countries in the world. It not only can help to improve students ‘English ability, but also achieve mutual understanding and mutual concern among people of all countries.

学生通过对国际理解课程的学习，进而可以了解到国家的文化习俗，有效地获取所需信息，从而能够跟上国际的步伐，培养了学生的国际意识，让他们了解了国际的多元化，拓宽了他们的视野，吸收各种多元文化的精华，使其能够以国际的眼光去面对问题。

By learning the course of International Understanding, students can learn that they understand the cultural customs in different countries and effectively acquire the information they need, so that they can keep pace with the international development. The course also can cultivate their international awareness, enable them to understand the diversity of the world, broaden their horizons and absorb the essence of all kinds of multiculturalism as well, so that they can face problems in an international perspective.
