A. Main ideas of Chinese teaching in The Bridge School:
Student’s speaking mainly: student's speaking will occupy more than 60% of the time, and the teacher's lectures will occupy less than 40% of the time. Learning to speak is achieved by speaking practice rather than listening and reading.
It is not necessary to strictly follow the textbook: the teacher will select the most important expressions from the book and combine them with the student's background, so that the student can learn everyday Chinese quickly.
Content focus: Every session will not contain too many new points. For the students, from 5-12 within one session is better than giving 40 points along with teacher's explanation without time for training.

Though learning to write and recognize Chinese characters , students will better understand the logic and patterns of spoken Chinese vocabulary . Thus gradually building a solid foundation for further learning . Considering these important auxiliary functions to spoken language learning , we at Bridge school will help our students to recognize and write some simple Characters from the beginning with the basic strokes . In order to overcome the students’ inhibitions to learning Chinese characters and stimulate their interest in them , our teachers will use vivid and creative methods to explain the characters .
Training process:
Teacher's explanation 5%
Teacher's training 90%
Student's demonstration 5%

B. Training: 4 steps at least on each point and have the student use them:
(1) Student's repetition led by the teacher
(2) Questions and answers on the content mentioned in repetitions
(3) Substitution after a small survey of vocabulary
(4) Performance or demonstration of the student's ability
