Integrated Exercises

All materials used in our programs are uniquely designed to instill in students certain core values — respect, responsibility, compassion — and to emphasize relevance to their daily lives. In the past eleven years, these lessons have proven effective in building integrated skills. 
All courses are offered in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. (繁體版與简体版可供選擇)
Students have access to our vast database of Quizlet flashcards and study sets designed to complement both in-class and self-paced learning.

有中文母語背景的學習者,著重讀寫訓練,目標為篇章寫作和口語報告。

For heritage learners, the key is to build literacy skills. With a foundation of Chinese characters they recognize, we lead them to explore the almost infinite possibilities of forming words with characters, and to demonstrate their understanding by making sentences. To encourage a smoother flow of thought-to-expression, heritage learner students are encouraged to insert drawings and/or Pinyin in their written compositions. Handwriting is a fun hands-on activity for the younger students. As students grow, they compose paragraphs by typing. 

以中文為外語的學習者,著重聽說訓練,而閱讀有助語法理解,目標為會話和打字溝通。

For second language learners, we emphasize speaking as well as listening to audio materials because it is important for these students to hear themselves in order to build sound memory as well as muscle memory. When reading, students can use the characters they recognize as tools to visualize sentence structures. Though translation is a necessary process, students are coached to eventually move from explicit translating practices to more intuitive internal processing.
