This textbook based Mandarin course is designed to improve children's fundamental Mandarin skills in listening and speaking.We use illustrations, games and Chinese songs to draw them into the rewarding world of Chinese as a second language. Following this Mandarin course they will have a solid foundation in the basics of Chinese language.
As children grow up we take a more structured approach and follow a Mandarin textbook with material appropriate for their age. However, expert tutors will use this only as a springboard — we find that the key to successful learning is to engage kids and young adults in every day conversation, helping them naturally learn and enjoy Chinese language.
The Mandarin course is similar to that for children with no Chinese background (younger kids focus more on picture books, older kids Mandarin classes are more structured), however the expert tutors will tailor the Mandarin class and textbook, dependent on their Chinese ability and interests.
These Mandarin classes aim to improve spoken Chinese by expanding Mandarin vocabulary beyond household conversations. We also focus on reading and writing, using Mandarin books commonly found in Chinese schools. This will provide a solid foundation for their further study of Chinese language and culture. |
