CHILDREN
CLASSES
A Revolutionary Approach for 4 to 10 year old children!!!
The objectives
of our Children Chinese Classes are as follows:
- to introduce the Chinese language to the children in a fun and non-threatening classroom environment through the use of our Accelerated Learning techniques.
- to provide them with a solid foundation for learning Chinese in future years (e.g. VCE Chinese) through teaching them the basics of the language (e.g. Pin Yin, Chinese script, tone marks, grammar) and conducting these classes in English (as opposed to a non-English speaking classroom environment) with less than 10 students per class.
- to teach them effectively using a flexible and modularised structured syllabus which will let them use the Chinese language in everyday situations.
- to ensure that the children will grow to love studying the Chinese language by not overwhelming them with new information too fast and too soon. They will learn Chinese in a way which will let them retain the information more effortlessly and be able to use the language more confidently.
The teaching theory of 'Accelerated
Learning for Children' (ALC) is based both on Accelerated
Learning techniques and Multisensory Instruction (Montessori,
1912). The term Multisensory refers to any learning activity
that simultaneously inputs information using two or more sensory
modalities, such as touching, hearing or seeing. Multisensory
teaching links four parts of the language listening, speaking,
reading and writing together. In a typical class that implements
Multisensory techniques the teacher uses both oral and visual
details that need to be learnt so that the student's mind will
be consistently exposed to the material.

'Accelerated Learning
for Children' is specially designed
for primary school students. ALC teaching is children centered
and is based on the premise of effective learning rather than
rote learning. Each class is designed as a 90-minute learning
activity. There are 8 classes (one class per week) per term and
4 terms per year. In every class, there are many games, songs
and role-plays. Children will learn listening, speaking, reading
and writing skills in a fun and happy learning environment and
experience a whole new different approach to learning Chinese. ..... the results are evident
for my daughter who also attends. She is
the only student in her school class achieving 99.9% in her exams,
even
above the Chinese background student who spoke Mandarin already!

Since
my child joined your classes, she actually now looks forward
to Chinese classes! This is amazing especially since she is also
practising with us at home now.
