Abstract

Bilingual teaching (Chinese-English) has a lot of benefits such as improving students’ cognitive skills, increasing their awareness of other cultures, and enhancing their job prospects in an interconnected world. Teaching PE classes bilingually has become one of the most important teaching reforms at Chinese universities, because students who can combine English with their majors are in high demand due to China’s increasing international business relationships. This article discusses the benefits of bilingual teaching for students with sports majors, and then introduces some practical strategies for university PE instructors to teach bilingually.
