P2 Mandarin

Course Overview: 

Our programme is specifically designed to provide young learners with a strong foundation in Mandarin Chinese, focusing on essential language skills, daily communication and being proficient in their Chinese school work. In our small group setting, each student receives personalised attention, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.

Course Content: 

Our curriculum aligns with the Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus, ensuring that students receive the necessary knowledge and skills required for their academic journey. We follow MOE guidelines and incorporate materials that complement their school learning.

Learning Outcomes: 

Textbook Vocabularies: Following the MOE Chinese curriculum, students will revise textbook vocabularies and learn how to use key phrases in their compositions and examinations.

Oral and Composition skills: The children will also have a lot of exposure to Chinese literature components (唐诗,成语和谚语) and learn how to read stories independently. We use age-appropriate storybooks to encourage reading comprehension and foster a love for Chinese literature.

Build strong Comprehensive listening and writing skills (读写听说): Our comprehensive approach addresses all essential language skills. Students will listen to native speakers, practice listening comprehension, and respond to questions in Mandarin. They will read aloud to improve pronunciation and fluency while understanding the meaning of the text.

Teaching Methods:

Through interactive activities, flashcards, and writing practice, students will develop their reading and writing skills. Teachers use Chinese games, story-playing and other funny and meaningful activities to enhance children's interest in learning Chinese.

Prerequisites:

Students are expected to have a foundational understanding of the previous year's topics.

Assessment Methods:

We will have weekly oral, listening and writing quizzes for each student

Required Materials: 

• Water bottle and stationery
• Han Tang will provide lesson materials. The child has to bring their lesson material every lesson.
• A $24 material fee is applicable each term, regardless of whether the child joins at the start or mid-term.

Important Notes:

If the lesson falls on a Public Holiday, a make-up lesson shall be arranged within the same week (Monday being the first day of the week).
