Abstract: Bilingual-driven innovative experimental teaching is designed to meet the demands of modern education and the country’s need for innovative talents. This approach not only strengthens students’ foundational knowledge in instrumental analysis and enhances their operational skills, but also fosters a more comprehensive sense of independent innovation. Under the guidance of instructors, students engage in self-directed learning using both Chinese and English resources, integrating this knowledge into various aspects of their work, such as designing self-made instruments, assembling components, and debugging signals. The teaching method has shifted from traditional lectures to an innovative, integrated approach that combines teaching with research. The incorporation of bilingual instruction broadens students’ perspectives, enhances their capacity for independent innovation, and lays a strong foundation for cultivating talents in scientific research and innovation.

Key words: Instrumental analysis laboratory teaching, Self-designed experiments, Innovation, Bilingual teaching
