Hi. I made a list of psychological and social features/pecularities of Chinese students as opposed to my average pupil. I used to teach them, and now want to give a talk on the topic to help others keep these in mind and take into considerations when designing or teaching a course. Am I right? What is missing? How can I expand each further? Thank you! 1. Chinese students do everything asked in the curriculum (traditional school and uni pressure), but at the same time tend not to ask why, how and where to apply it. 2. Do not point out your mistakes (on the board, in the textbook, etc), will want to save your face. Worry if the mistake is pointed out in front of everyone, will want to instead save face. 3. Are not especially used to discussing or debating in the class or asking during a lecture. 4. Prefer the familiar - same classmates in their lab team, same type of lectures and assignments. 5. Do not discuss personal matters, politics or anything minimally controversial or including clash of opinions. [Need to softly introduce debates as a tool].

您想参加一个语言实验吗？ 我正在为不了解拼音和英文字母的学生们挑战拼音替代。 学生们阅读句子，现在我需要看到别人能在他们说话中了解多少。 如果您想参加，我会向您发送短暂的音频，请您用汉字写下您所听到的。 ——— Would you like to be in a linguistic experiment? I am working on a pinyin alternative for students who don’t know pinyin and English alphabet. Students read sentences in Chinese, and now I need to see how well understood they are by others. If you want to participate, I will send you a short audio and ask you to write what you heard in hanzi.

I want to do language exchange with you. I speak Russian, Bulgarian (native), English (C2), Chinese Mandarin (C1), Japanese (B2). I am studying Spanish, Japanese, Cantonese. Write me if interested! Cheers!

這是什麼語言？聽到台灣廣播，但它不是福語閩南語什麼啊。也不是廣東話吧？
