桃花，嫩芽，初春已至。咖啡，英语，外教有约。为营造“浸入式”英语氛围，搭建学生与外教自由交流的平台，BETVlCTOR手机登录组织开展“Open Office Hours”系列活动，邀请两所合作院校的外教们在线下授课之余开放办公时间，与学生面对面交谈。
To create an "immersive" English environment and build a platform for the mutual communication between students and foreign teachers, ISE launched the "Open Office Hours" series. This initiative invites foreign professors from the two partner universities to open their office hours, engaging in face-to-face conversations with students.
2025年3月31日，首场名为“Hi，Professors！”的口语交流会在现代教育中心A1111顺利举行。BETVlCTOR手机登录院长黄凌翔、党总支副书记孔伟、副院长李光旻，风景园林专业系主任阎淑龙、副系主任纪茜，以及CUT风景园林系外教Dariusz Kronowski和Agnieszka Greniuk出席本次活动。教学办全体人员以及本科生、研究生代表共同参与。
On March 31, 2025, the first event of the series, titled "Hi, Professors!" was successfully held in A1111 at Modern Education Center. Attendees included Huang Lingxiang (Dean of ISE), Kong Wei (Deputy Party Secretary of the college), Li Guangmin (the Vice Dean), Yan Shulong (Director of Landscape Architecture Department), Ji Qian (Vice Director of Landscape Architecture), as well as professors Dariusz Kronowski and Agnieszka Greniuk from CUT. And faculty members from ISE Teaching Affairs Office and the undergraduate and graduate student representatives participated.

副院长李光旻发表致辞，他回溯了学院推动国际化活动的初心，强调“培养服务‘一带一路’建设、兼具全球视野与跨文化能力的复合型人才”始终是学院的核心使命。他指出，此次与波兰克拉科夫理工大学（CUT）外教的对话，不仅是两校合作深化的标志性实践，更是一次“以语言为桥、以文化为媒”的师生共融契机。并鼓励学生摒弃对“完美表达”的顾虑，以开放姿态主动提问、真诚分享，在倾听波兰故事、探讨中欧城市发展差异的过程中，让多元视角成为个人成长的催化剂。
Vice Dean Li Guangmin then delivered an opening speech, reflecting on the college’s original intention in promoting the international events. He emphasized that “cultivating interdisciplinary talents who can contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative, equipped with global perspectives and cross-cultural competencies” has always been the core mission of ISE. He noted that the dialogue with professors from CUT not only marked a symbolic step in deepening collaboration between TCU and CUT but also served as a unique opportunity for “bridging cultures through language and fostering mutual understanding between teachers and students.” He encouraged students to cast aside concerns about “perfect expression,” urging them to actively ask questions and share ideas with an open mind. By listening to Polish narratives and exploring differences in urban development between China and Europe, he emphasized that diverse perspectives could act as a catalyst for personal growth.
活动进入师生自由交谈环节。学生们首先依次向两位外教做了简短的自我介绍。接着围绕生活经历、兴趣爱好等话题展开提问，并就中波两国的生活、教育模式、学习环境差异与老师进行了深入讨论。
Afterwards, it transitioned into the free discussion session. Students first introduced themselves briefly to the professors. They then asked questions about life experiences, hobbies, and engaged in in-depth discussions on differences in lifestyles, educational systems, and learning environments between China and Poland.
外教们分享了在中国的生活，表达了对天津旅游、中餐、中国国内出行方式等的看法。随后，大家就中国茶文化与欧洲咖啡文化进行了比较。Agnieszka Greniuk分享了她在波兰的教学体验，介绍了中波城市绿化的不同；Dariusz Kronowski则从不同视角畅谈对中国建筑与城市发展的观察，以及对摩天大楼的看法。学生们还就感兴趣的音乐话题与外教们讨论，了解到波兰丰富的文化活动。现场讨论热烈，互动频繁，笑声不断。学生们表示不仅锻炼了英语口语表达，更感受到跨文化碰撞的魅力。
The foreign professors shared their lives in China, expressing their views on Tianjin’s tourism, Chinese cuisine, and the transportation. They also compared Chinese tea culture with European coffee culture after students raised the relative questions. Then Agnieszka Greniuk shared her teaching experiences in Poland and discussed differences in urban landscaping between the two countries. Dariusz Kronowski offered unique perspectives on Chinese architecture, urban development, and skyscrapers. Students further explored topics like music and learned about Poland’s vibrant cultural activities. The lively interaction was filled with laughter, and students remarked that the event not only improved their English speaking skills but also deepened their appreciation for cross-cultural exchanges.
师生分享后，全体人员合影留念，记录这一充满意义的时刻。
After the speech, a group photo was taken to commemorate the meaningful occasion.
