Zhengzhou Bilingual Experimental Class

In order to cultivate students to have global views and perspectives and have the opportunity to explore different cultures and languages, the Bureau of Education, Jinshui, Zhengzhou, Henan province has set up the ‘Bilingual Experimental Class’ project in 19 schools since 2010.

In order to strengthen and standardize the administration of the project, the Education Association for International Exchange was established in 2013 by the Bureau of Education, Jinshui, Zhengzhou, Henan Province to take the overall responsibility for the management and operation of the whole project.

This project upholds the motto of “To provide services for Chinese students rooted in Chinese traditional culture”. Relying on the public schools, this project creatively and perfectly integrates the traditional Chinese education system and the advanced international teaching beliefs, and explores a scientific bilingual teaching model for Chinese primary school students. This project also provides a long-term, sustainable and effective platform for Chinese schools and students to interact with English speakers at an international level. The project aims to cultivate our students to have a good knowledge of Chinese culture and equip with the language competencies to access international cultures and develop a global outlook, giving them a competitive edge to thrive in the globalized world.
