​NOV. NE​WS & EVENTS
Mandarin Beginner Course
Nov. 10, 2018
For beginners our teachers use TA (thematic approach) to design curriculum, although we have many topics or subjects, but they are connected and integrated with a theme. The main focus is helping students access the ability of mandarin in daily life and help them to solve the problems when they encounter different culture.
Not only learning in classroom, we also use TBLL (Task-Based Language Learning), therefore we also design some learning activities outside the classroom and create the environment for students to speak with Mandarin with native speakers.
Character Writing Course
Nov. 11, 2018
Chinese characters are the core of Asian culture, forming Sinosphere (East Asian cultural sphere). In this course, we design systematic curriculum helps students to explore the life of Chinese Characters.
Students will not only learn how to write, but also how to express their feeling through the characters. With this course, it will open a new world for them to go to the heart of Asia.
Story Telling for Kids
Nov. 11&18, 2018
Our teacher can speak fluent Hungarian and Mandarin, so parents don't need to worry about the communication problems if at the beginning kids don't understand Mandarin.
Picture books offer an opportunity for teachers to open up discussions about sensitive topics in a safe environment.
With this course, it provides models for children to project their feelings on to and discuss the strategies they use to cope with difficult situations. And naturally access the Mandarin ability without pressure.
