I really enjoyed your new style of lesson, Adam! I think it worked extremely well and it is definitely the way to go when teaching any language! It's called "Communicative Language Teaching" in the trade and it's what I've been doing for the last 40 years! (Of course, most other properly qualified teachers of English have been using the same methodology, too! That's why English teaching is so advanced when compared to some other languages.) This method of teaching lends itself brilliantly to using "Minimal Pairs Practice" and "Backchaining" as a built-in part of your lesson, and I would recommend using both of them in every lesson you teach! You will soon notice a vast improvement in the ability of your students - especially when they are trying to say longer sentences in Mandarin! (That's the "Backchaining" bit!) Keep using the two techniques when you're teaching and you'll feel very satisfied with the results, I'm sure!!! Good luck!!!
