The bilingual teaching in China can be traced back to the various missionary schools established by Western missionaries in China in nineteenth Century,therefore, the critics often disparaged the bilingual teaching as "colonial education color", the color almost completely faded when the last century 50s and 60s.

Learning and using it in practice can develop the ability of English. This is probably the success of College English teaching before the liberation of the church”.

Flooding will do more harm than good, moderate is more good than harm.
