“My daughter has benefited and grown in so many ways since starting CCBG at 5 years old. Her verbal skills continue to be refined by her caring teachers, and we are amazed at how good her reading and writing skills are considering she only takes two hours of class per week.”
FEATURES OF OUR WEEKLY MANDARIN CLASSES FOR CHILDREN
Curriculum tested by learners for close to two decades and in constant enhancement
Our core language curriculum is closely based on research findings about how children of various ages acquire a second language, what types of activities facilitate the learning process, and how such activities should be adapted to the class size, class length and the learning goals.
A Stable and Passionate Teaching Team
Our teaching staff consists of members with rich backgrounds in scientific research and teaching. Our current teachers are all native Mandarin speakers who have been teaching in our program between 15 and 2 years (most have prior teaching experiences also). Teachers receive regular professional development through required and self-initiated professional meetings, lectures, and readings.
A strong interest in teaming up with parents
We work closely with parents because we believe that parental involvement is crucial.
About a third of our parents are native speakers of Chinese, and two thirds are native English speakers with limited or no Chinese skills. Whether they are native Chinese speakers or not, our parents eagerly, thoughtfully and skillfully support their children’s Chinese learning. As a result, both types of families have produced some the strongest learners in our program.
We debrief parents regularly about our curriculum. Parents know exactly what is taught each class, what is the homework for the week, and are offered the homework answer keys.
We openly engage parents in critically evaluating our curriculum. As a result, the current curriculum is a joint product of scientific research and the aspirations of our parents.
