Bilingual teaching�an important part in the undergraduate education in China�can effectively expand the students' international vision and improve English language skills. However, there are also some practical problems and obstacles in the development of bilingual teaching mode, such as issues with using PowerPoint and writing on the blackboard in English, which is difficult for Chinese students due to the long reaction time and new vocabulary. English words used by chemistry and chemical industry professionals are complex and long. In this work we describe practices and experiences from our bilingual class �Introduction to green chemistry and chemical engineering�. The specific measures are proposed, such as previewing before class, teaching English formation for professional words, and correlating multi-disciplines systematically and harmoniously. In this way, better teaching effects are obtained. From the evaluation of teaching, the above specific measures are effective and found to be useful by both students and teachers.
