Coloring and illustration
As a new teacher, interacting with a set of
students who speak a different language can be
tough. Students might not open up thinking of you
as a stranger than a teacher but nothing is
impossible. Using additional tools and techniques
of teaching can help. For instance, using
different colors and illustration of the things
that students need to learn is a better option.
You can show them pictures that are related to
the text or ask them to draw. Engaging students
in different activities makes the process of
learning interesting. For teaching in china, you
have to apply relevant and surprisingly funny
skills.

Share your passion
You can show the students about your ways of
enjoying and having fun while teaching in china
and students recognize your personality with
ease. Even if it takes time to work, a lot of
students will open up during the process. If you
know how to sacrifice your authority as a
teacher, students can absorb the concepts better.
Use conversational techniques
Do not utter the concepts of English language one
after the other. Using techniques of conversation
that students understand make them happy at the
end of the learning session. You can ask each
student to pretend as a fun cartoon character and
ask them to write about them in between the
learning sessions.

Workshop and projects
You can encourage participation of the entire
class through different workshops and projects
that help in enhancing the learning techniques.
Ask them to build models on different concepts of
grammar and also about the stories they learn in
the textbooks and you will have a lot of smiling
faces coming together to prove their mettle.
Implementing Chinese Whisper
The game can open many locks when you are trying
to teach a culturally different group. You can
teach a concept and try to check if they have
learned by asking them to whisper the examples
into the ears of each other. It is a fun thing to
do to strengthen learning.

Mystery in the lessons
Students do not participate in the class when the
lessons are boring. You can include a bit of
mystery in every lesson to encourage more
participation.
Laughing at their jokes
You know it is not funny but the art of
pretending can help you become friendly with the
entire class. Laughing at the jokes they crack
allows you to be with them through the entire
learning session.

Rely on teachers
Students love to rely on teachers but only if
they are made to interact during discussions that
allow them open up and eventually leads to a
memorable and valued relationship.
