This document describes an innovative teacher training program that uses teamwork and videotaping to improve Mandarin Chinese language instruction. Teachers film short lessons, review the videos with their peers, receive feedback, and film follow-up lessons to demonstrate their progress integrating strategies to enhance comprehension. Over multiple tapings, the teachers slow their speech, use clearer visuals and gestures, simplify vocabulary and grammar, and get students more engaged. Participants found this an intensive process that significantly strengthened their teaching skills and understanding of how to make the language meaningful and accessible to students.

In your classroom you will use students so think about the fact that they don’t know as much Chinese as your colleagues here. Therefore, keep their role simple in terms of comprehension and language production. Don’t elicit language from students within minutes of presenting new words or expressions
