2. Introduction Group
Have you heard the quote “There’s no better teacher than
a fellow student?” Well, breaking students into small
groups so that they can practice among themselves is the
most effective way of getting them to speak English. Unlike
Mathematics and other subjects, English requires both oral
and theoretical practice.

3. Minimize using the dictionary
Anytime a new word pops up, students will sometimes
rush to the dictionary. However, they should internalize its
meaning and understand the context first. This prevents
them from translating phrases and words directly. Explain
to them that direct translation could confuse them more.

4. Use a diverse learning plan
As you teach in China, you should try using various learning
methods. Keep in mind that your students, just as back
home, have different backgrounds and will hence each
learn differently. Therefore, you should mix reading,
listening, writing and observing with oral learning. Visual
stimulation might also make the students more interested,
especially when they’re bored.

5. Add more student talking time (STT)
To be the best English teacher in China, you should
understand that students learn more by doing. Of course,
they often won’t use the language outside the classroom.
You’ll want to maximize STT during the lesson.

6. Ensure that you give homework
After class Chinese students will return to their home
where English is not used to communicate. This is the
biggest challenge facing all students who study foreign
languages. Thus, it’s imperative that you give your
student’s homework so they can focus on English after
classes. Ensure that the homework is related to what you
taught them that day.
