Chinese as Second Language Beginner Level $720
Albert Wen Sun, Jun 11, 10:57 PM (2 days ago) to me The objective of our CSL courses is to help students from non-Mandarin-speaking families develop basic communication skills in Mandarin Chinese and to foster interest in learning Chinese language and culture through thorough lesson planning, rich content, and fun activities. This course aims to bridge the gap in verbal comprehension of Chinese between students from non-Chinese-speaking families and heritage families. The ultimate goal is to prepare students for transition in three years from CSL courses to heritage language courses (Shuangshuang Chinese).

The CSL Beginner Level class fits students with no Chinese language background. In this class, teachers will focus on developing skills in listening, understanding, and participating in simple daily greetings and conversations. In addition, Pinyin (phonetic writing) will be introduced and utilized as a tool in practicing pronunciation and for future study.
