Summary: The questions about Chinese language teaching strategies and methodologies have been constantly discussed to fulfil students’ needs and achieve the intended learning outcomes. This paper intends to examine and review some teaching methods based on the author’s teaching experience. With pedagogical literatures as theoretical background and students’ feedback as evidence, the author hopes that, such good practice could be of interests to other teachers, particularly those who would like to start the career in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. The author also would like to simulate attentions to the importance of focusing on the basic essentials, i.e. the fundamental elements to make teaching delivery successful, which, however, seems to have been side-lined in the studies and discussions in the area of teaching Chinese as foreign language.
