International students’ classes in China are divided into classes taught in English and Chinese. If classes are taught in English, then the teacher’s English must be very good, and communication with students should be barrier-free.
Teachers who teach in Chinese must also speak English because most international students are not so good at Chinese, so if the teacher speaks both Chinese and English, it is also helpful for class teaching. As for the other teachers, they must know a little English, but whether they can understand you and communicate with you is not certain.
