There are 14 to 30 students per class. The average class size is about 18. We teach the students to stand up, speak loudly and open their mouths. We teach grammar and pronunciation. We give moderate pressure.
Teachers work independently in the classroom and follow a teaching syllabus.
The lessons are translated and broken down into suggested time segments. I go to the park once a week. Have each student ask this question, but substitute the location. Homework, compositions and tests are graded by the teacher once every three weeks. We speak entirely in Chinese in the beginning semesters and gradually reduce the Chinese as the students advance.
