  • Description: Always assume that you have been misunderstood. Don't ask, "Did you understand?" because the class will always politely respond, "Yes". Instead, ask a single student to explain how he or she has understood what you have just taught. This is one of the pieces of advice that the head of a major information-technology training company has for westerners involved in teaching Chinese students. Yoav Chernitz, CEO of John Bryce China, continued that teachers should not be afraid of using humor, but should avoid being cynical or sarcastic. Chernitz advanced the view that many of the differences between Chinese and western students stemmed from cultural and social factors, including the importance of the child in the family because of China's one-child policy. National examinations are now the tool to select high school students for higher education. These days, the students find themselves under great pressure. This is still the crucial exam that influences greatly one's chance of a decent job.
