How to use 教学
As a noun, 教学 (jiàoxué) means teaching or instruction, and it often appears in formal or school contexts like 教学方法 (teaching methods) or 教学楼 (teaching building). Example: 这所学校的教学很好。(Zhè suǒ xuéxiào de jiàoxué hěn hǎo.) The teaching at this school is very good.
教学 is two halves of the classroom: 教 (jiāo) is what the teacher does, and 学 (xué) is what the student does. Put teaching and learning together and you get teaching as a whole activity.
Common mistake: Learners often read the noun as jiāoxué. In the noun meaning teaching or instruction, 教 is fourth tone, jiàoxué. The first tone jiāoxué is the verb sense, to teach. Also, do not use 教学 for teaching a specific person something. Say 我教他中文 (Wǒ jiāo tā Zhōngwén), not 我教学他中文.
