★良好的学习气氛有助于语言学习,我们努力营造积极向上、富有挑战、鼓舞人心、激发学习兴趣的学习氛围。

Language learning is best fostered in positive and affective conditions, where the atmosphere is encouraging, challenging, inspiring and motivating.

  

★语言学习需要大量练习,既有机械性的练习,也包含各种有意义的练习;既有单项的输出训练,也涵盖各类互动交际。因此我们会根据教学目标设计各种练习,在课内外为学生提供大量使用汉语进行练习、交际、沟通的机会。

Language learning needs lots of practices, which include mechanical drills, meaningful exercises, output training as well as variety of interactions. We design various activities closely related to the learning objectives for the purpose of providing a great deal of opportunities of practice, interaction and communication in Chinese in and outside class.

  

★交际能力需要掌握语言的多方面知识和技能,比如语音、语法、语用、语义、文化习俗、听说、读写、交际策略等等。我们的课程会涉及汉语交际能力的方方面面。

Communicative competence includes various knowledge and skills, for example, phonology, grammar, pragmatics, semantics, cultural customs, listening/speaking skills, writing/reading skills, communicative and learning strategies etc. Our courses involve teaching and practicing on different aspects and skills that help for developing this kind of communicative competence.

  

★多样的语言输入有利于满足不同学习风格学生的需求。我们会提供纸质的、数字的、听力的、视频的等多种媒介的教学资源。

Diverse ways of input can satisfy different learners with different learning styles. We provide learning materials from multiple sources and through multiple media, such as paper-based, digital, audio, visual etc.

  

★学生的多样性有利于促进跨文化交际能力。我们努力为学生提供多元文化的学习环境,旨在激发不同文化背景的讨论及发挥汉语作为媒介语进行沟通的作用。

The diversity of learners tends to be beneficial to the development of cross cultural communicative competence. We make our efforts to build a multi-cultural learning environment in order to stimulate the interaction among different culture backgrounds and maximize the application of Chinese as a medium language of communication.

  

★良好的语言学习习惯与态度对于掌握语言至关重要。我们会通过考勤、作业、测试等方式帮助学生养成良好的语言学习习惯、发展语言学习技能。学生应该保持积极的学习态度,对自己的学习负责。

Positive study habits and attitudes play a crucial role in language learning. We help our learners to develop good habits and skills through various means as checking on attendance, assigning homework, keeping assessment etc. Learners are encouraged to keep positive attitude and take responsibilities for their own learning.
