CFL Class

​

The CFL class is designed for non-Chinese background children who wish to learn Chinese. The goal of this course is to help cultivate learners' ability to communicate in Chinese and know more Chinese culture.

 

We follow a balanced approach in developing learners' listening, speaking, basic reading and writing abilities. Emphasis is placed on teaching sentence patterns, with new vocabulary introduced to allow learners to build a solid foundation in the language, rather than on the memorization of grammatical rules. Using a variety of activities such as songs, games, story-telling, role play, and oral exercises, necessary linguistic information is repeated throughout the course to ensure a good understanding.

 

Our course is carefully designed to stimulate learners' interest in an unfamiliar language and encourage them to develop a greater understanding of the richness of the Chinese language and culture. It also makes use of stimulating materials that learners can apply what they learn to real-life situation. When children are able to apply what they learn they may develop a stronger curiosity and become more eager to apply what they learn in the classroom or in real-life communication.
