才感盛夏，忽而已秋。光陰流轉間，2024 WSDA暑期綜合學術營的最後一站——昆山營地今天在美麗(li) 的昆山狄邦華曜學校落下帷幕。

回顧在營地學習(xi) 生活的日子，令你印象深刻的是跟隨各自Coach和Lab Leader沉浸在思辨與(yu) 學術氛圍中的樂(le) 此不疲，還是與(yu) 優(you) 秀同齡人交流碰撞出思想花火的酣暢淋漓？是跨出舒適區探索自我更多潛能的勇敢無畏，還是離開父母也能獨立學習(xi) 生活的快速成長？

正如同學們(men) 在采訪中所說，在過去十天的日日夜夜中，Coach和Lab Leader們(men) 不僅(jin) 是同學們(men) 演講辯論知識與(yu) 技能上的傳(chuan) 授者，更是同學們(men) 成長與(yu) 蛻變的見證者。他們(men) 用智慧與(yu) 博學帶領同學們(men) 領略思辨的魅力，他們(men) 用耐心與(yu) 熱情點燃同學們(men) 心中探索未知的火焰，他們(men) 用付出與(yu) 教導讓同學們(men) 不再因迷茫而徘徊，他們(men) 用鼓勵與(yu) 陪伴激勵同學們(men) 不斷攀登演講辯論的山巔。

回顧今年夏天，Coach和Lab Leader們(men) 會(hui) 用什麽(me) 詞來形容WSDA營地？他們(men) 認為(wei) 同學們(men) 在營地期間的表現如何？據他們(men) 觀察，同學們(men) 的哪些能力得到了提升？他們(men) 對大家未來的學習(xi) 有什麽(me) 建議與(yu) 期待？那就讓我們(men) 跟隨老師的鏡頭，來看看他們(men) 都有什麽(me) 話想對同學們(men) 說的吧？

Critical Thinking

My students and myself have a deeper meaning of critical thinking. We can look at something and see the pros of it. We can see the cons of it and make decisions based on the evidence we found.——Mike B

Academic

Everything that the students are learning is very academically oriented. All of the activities are things designed to help them with their studies. All of the skills that they’re building can really help them improve their marks.——Aaron

Passion&Enthusiasm

The students are so passionate about learning. We didn’t start until 9 o’clock except students were there at 8:30 every morning. And we started and they just wanted to learn more and more...——Mike W

Inspirational

I‘ve seen a lot of students who inspire themselves and their friends. I can see them challenge themselves. I can see them try to improve and be better beyond themselves.——Azim

Developing your personality

There’s a lot of confidence that you need to be able to communicate effectively within a debate. Those skills will help them in debate but it will also help them in school to be able to communicate their ideas clearly in the workplace when they finally get a job someday.——Esther

Expression

I would say expression and of course, part of that is ‘speaking eloquently’. You need to be able to use your own voice when you are presenting. Debate gives you an avenue to share your voice with people and that is especially obvious in WSDA summer camps.——Giuliette

Dynamic

After attending the WSDA camp for three years, I have come to realize its dynamic nature. I loved being among students from diverse backgrounds and hearing their unique inputs on different topics. I feel like I too am constantly learning new things from my students year after year.——Isabella

Friendship

As I say this to my students, for me, the camp is first and foremost about 'friendship' - the intellectual space of sociability. Regardless of one's attitude toward the competitive debate format, the community built around the harmony and dissonance of thoughts, through which real characters are built, is the simple greatest facilitator of the noblest philosophical friendships. The camp possesses the true magic of mobilizing all of one's senses to the utmost extent.——Geven

Diversity

We have students from all over China with their unique personalities and talents. It’s a mutual learning experience for everyone!——Jennifer

Learning community

We are a learning community that thrive everyone, not just to learn how to make great speech and debate, but also develop personal growth.——Lily
