In the debut episode of The Bad Chinese Teacher Podcast, we look at Chinese-American journalist Lenora Chu’s book Little Soldiers and how traditional Chinese methods of classroom instruction inform Mandarin language teaching outside of China today. Why do some native-speaker Chinese teachers struggle in Western classroms? Should Western cultures learn to be okay with allowing students to “suffer” while learning? Why does Chinese education emphasize obedience so much? How do we help struggling students “fight through the suck” of learning Chinese, and what does the discipline of practice have to do with...
