Dear parents of Novice Mid students,
Welcome to the Chinese Novice Mid program. Our program is performance towards proficiency-based, the class name indicates the goal students are working to achieve. Our program is theme-based, covering a range of topics organized into four units. We use an active approach to language instruction, with daily lesson goals taught through movement, rhymes, chants, songs, dialogues, story-telling, games and the appropriate use of technology. Our lessons are taught 90% or more in the target language.
The main thrust of the program is to develop oral language skills in Chinese (listening first, then speaking). As children come into our Novice Mid program with a variety of exposure to Chinese, I aim to engage all kids and extend their learning at their level. Our work in class will offer plenty of opportunities to practice performances that will gradually lead to proficiency in Chinese.
Unit 1 Topic: Let’s Learn Chinese
Learning Goals:
By the end of this unit, students will be able to
• understand vocabulary for routines and expectations (instructional language) in order to start building our ability in Chinese (communicational language).
• greet & briefly introduce themselves (name, age etc)
• talk about likes/dislikes (food, drinks)
• answer questions of ‘Who’, ‘What ‘, and choice questions (I like…/I don’t like…)
