In university, Chinese teaching, which originally emphasizes on cultivating language skills and literature appreciation, nowadays, has changed into the general education, focusing on practical application. As a result, that students' involvement in the course would meet the needs of application in the future is a key factor that needs to be taken into consideration.The writer suggested that in the process of Chinese teaching, instructors mainly put emphasis on how to teach and how to learn. However, only when instructors and students get involved in the course by inquiring and discussing does the interactive teaching build up. It is instructors, students and well-organized curriculum that play the crucial roles in an ideal Chinese teaching. By means of interaction between instructors and students, it is likely that both of them will get benefit from the course.The curriculum design starts with ”core subjects”, choosing the common articles or textbooks as must-read materials. Moreover, add optional and related materials to the curriculum as supplements. The curriculum stresses the integration of appropriate and practical materials as well as language expression and literature appreciation. The most important is that the curriculums are designed based on different students' characteristics of different departments. Active teaching and learning are performed through lecture, assignments, presentation, and discussion, which might provide a new way to Chinese teaching. In this way, teaching is renewed all the time, and so is the curriculum. Likewise, students will become active learners, which will make general Chinese study more practical and meaningful.
