Beginner - Advanced Level
This course is designed based on the syllabus of international Chinese schools. Each textbook has 12 units and is divided into two volumes. Each volume is an eight-week course. At the end of the first volume, students will learn basic daily conversation (listening and speaking) .And writing skills. Each class provides online practice activities after class to help students review and strengthen their memory. This class is designed for beginning level students ages all ages . The course is 8 weeks long and about 40 minutes each class. This beginner level course is designed to teach practical language skills for everyday use including greeting oneself, asking questions about friends and family, responding, telling, and choosing, numbers, foods, likes and dislikes. All four language aspects of Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing will be incorporated into the class structure. Dialogues, games, and light homework assignments will help the student to internalize the teachings. The student will have ample time to interact with a native speaker, ask questions, and share ideas with the class as participation is essential to active learning. As someone who has learned foreign languages, I understand the challenges and the concerns that a learner experiences. To this point, it is my mission to encourage the student's confidence and to not scare them away from achieving the gift of communicating in a foreign language. Language communication should be fun! *** Price includes textbook and workbook***
Learning Goals
By the end of this 8-week course, students entering with little understanding of Chinese should be able to introduce themselves and ask somebody their name, talk about their family members, classmates, and friends, use numbers 1-30, talk and ask about likes & dislikes, use "How Much? How many? and, also, but, very, little, too" as well as additional verbs, nouns, plurals, and adjectives. The course will be taught using an easy-to-understand book with practice in reading, speaking, listening, and writing via dialogues, exercises, games, instructor-led practice, light homework assignments, and quizzes to assess progress. My teaching style is one of making the students feel comfortable through positive reinforcement and encouragement. Please try this class with me! I will do my best to teach your young learner how to enjoy the journey of communication in Mandarin Chinese.
