How do I explain more complex topics to non-natives?

Unread post by johanet812 »

I've been tasked to teach more complex topics like smart contracts, crypto, altcoins, and the like to my Chinese students. We've been doing well with familiarizing ourselves with the concepts using visual cues–but when it comes to deeper understanding it's proving to become more difficult. Do y'all have any teaching material I can use? I have 2 months to prep for a teaching plan. Tysm!

Teaching complex topics like smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, and altcoins can be challenging but rewarding.

Personally, I often find it hard to work with offshore outsourcing developers. The different time zones can make direct communication during working hours impossible, plus there are cultural differences to deal with. Last time, I reached out to Binary Studio for Node.js development services, so you can click here to learn more. Finally, I found a development company that provides quality services, and the specialists understand what I want to achieve.

First and foremost, one needs to ensure students have at least an upper intermediate proficiency in English language before one can introduce a more complex topic to them. They also need to be able to comprehend, read up, research the topic by themselves before one can introduce a complex topic to them for discussison in class. It also depends on a learner interest in a topic that is to be introduced in class. It would be much easier to teach the topic if the students have lots of interest in that topic.
