In the classroom teaching, whether the students’ performance and excellence can be shown depends on the atmosphere in certain degree. It means students should have enough time and space to practice teaching activities as well as a relaxing and active atmosphere. In order to build this kind of beneficial atmosphere, teachers in Chinese learning programs should establish a democratic relationship with students.

The democratization of the relationship between teachers and students is helpful to remove students’ anxiety and fear of making mistakes. Then, students can express themselves when they learn Chinese. For teachers, they should respect students’ creativity and encourage them to express their ideas. They also should design the teaching activities carefully to give students enough time to carry out.

There are differences between students. But teachers must believe that they have huge potential and have some traits that the others haven’t. For those who learn Chinese in China, the class is a learning community. Then, every student is the source of learning. Their ideas, performance and even existence are all inevitable. Therefore, students in class should encourage each other.

Sometimes, if one student fails to answer the questions asked by teachers, the others may laugh at him. If students of such kind continue to study Chinese in this way, they will get worse. Teachers should encourage them properly and ask some targeted questions to help them answer questions correctly, thus gaining their confidence.

Just as we mentioned just now, the greetings and questions should be design meticulously to create a democratic classroom atmosphere. The beginning of one class is just like the first sight when you meet someone. Therefore, the greetings are very important to attract students to the classroom context. Questioning is a good method to practice for those who study in China. Teachers should design questions as a way of practicing but not checking.

In addition, the classroom should be a stage for student to perform. In language teaching, students need to do some role play. But some students are afraid of performing when they learn Mandarin. Therefore, teachers should design the teaching contents carefully so that every student can be involved to play their roles. In this way, it will stimulate students to use what they have learned creatively.

In a word, the classroom teaching should have a democratic atmosphere. Students should encourage each other and raise questions with specific targets. Everyone should be involved in class role play.
