Introduction to Chinese Language & Culture - Learning Chinese is Fun!

by  East Central Ohio Educational Service Center

Program image

Chinese is spoken by more than 1.2 Billion people on the planet. Chinese language and culture offers both a rich history and global language skill at the same time. This class, while offered this year as a weekly elective or special, will be delivered to your students in the manner in which students learn Chinese as a world language - by staying in the target language! Expect high engagement between your students and the instructor, limited use of English from both students and instructor, and lots of learning and fun! Students will, at a minimum, be introduced to the Chinese tones, counting, colors, numbers, daily phrases, descriptions of clothing and foods, and many other topics. This is our inaugural year of offering this as a weekly elective instead of a daily HS language class, so the pace and topics covered will continue to expand as your students master content! Each week, students will be listening and speaking with the teacher, within small groups and learning to communicate effectively in this language.

Booking Information

This brand new offering will allow you to add the exciting Chinese language and Culture to your classroom weekly. Instructors are licensed as Chinese Instructors and deliver HS language credit daily. Their schedule has allowed us to offer this once-weekly option for the coming year. Designed to be delivered to your classroom as a weekly special or elective, students/classrooms will connect each Monday, beginning September 13th, 2021 through (approx.) May 25th, 2022 (30-32 connections). Contact us if you would like to have the same block of time reserved at a different day of the week. The cost, for the year, is based on a once-weekly connection for the duration of your school year, and making some adjustments for weather-related cancellations, testing, etc. Once reserved, this same time slot is available every single day of the week; to add additional days of the week, it would be an additional cost for the program. Booking all 5 days will result in a much-reduced annual invoice total. It may be easier to call to discuss, as we are offering a unique scheduling opportunity within a traditional teaching day as well.

Provider's Cancellation Policy

You are reserving your time slot for the year. Based on other requests, there may not be an option to move your weekday to another date/time during that week. Clearly communicate days in which you know you cannot meet at your scheduled time. This purchase includes the expectation that our teacher will meet with your classroom 30-32 times during the year, Mondays at 9:00 AM. We will be offering this format at the same time on other days of the week, so it is possible that frequent reschedule requests might not be honored. If you have to cancel on your day due to weather or technical difficulties, you will communicate that to your instructor, and best efforts will be made to re-schedule.

Program Details

Format

Each week, students will be expected to speak for the teacher, practice newly introduced vocabulary with the instructor, and be engaged throughout each session. The teacher will greet the class, review prior week's content, speak in the target language the current events or daily activities, practice standard phrases and add new content each week. If you have a program for which your students would like to perform using Chinese language, please communicate that, so that the instructor can build that activity into the weekly lessons. This will be a format in which all students speak weekly, full group, small group and individually in front of the camera, when activities encourage it.

Objectives

Each week, students will retain at least one new vocabulary word and/or phrase.

Building upon each week, students will be able to recall and produce vocabulary and also use it appropriately in conversation.

Students will also be introduced to Chinese culture, as is grade-level appropriate.
