I had a training class yesterday and today conducted completely in Chinese. We had several different instructors, and the training style is drastically different from that of the US. For each lesson, the teachors turned the lights off, relied heavily on powerpoint, and with their back to the students began to read off of the screen.
The students behaved likewise. The captivating teaching style encouraged them to put their heads on their desks and go to sleep. Snores were often heard from different corners of the classroom, some with their backs entirely to the projection screen. I have never seen students and teachers both with their backs to each other.
There were 55 new hires being trained the the class, and the last training class was only a month ago. This is an indicator of turnover and expansion at our current factory, and such a high number of trainees would have never been seen in the US.
