Why Choose Kids Mandarin Course?

​

1.Practical learning. 

Practical learning helps students to learn and remember things clearly. Sometimes when you are reading a lesson, you tend to remember information for a short period of time. But if you try practically learning in the form of projects or assignments, the whole practical experience can stay in your mind for a long time and help you in exams.

​

How can our teachers help students in Practical Learning?

- Role Playing.

- Educational tours.

​

2.Game-based learning.

Turning any lesson into a game will almost always make learning fun!

According to research, games are an effective way to learn because they simulate adventure and keep our brains happily engaged. The knowledge acquired through game-based learning is retained at a higher rate than other methods of learning.

Our teachers use fun games such as chess to make learning interesting! It is a great way to help students to absorb and retain knowledges effectively through challenge a task/game.

Online game exercises are designed to help students to take exercises as challenging and fun games, but not just simply a exercise. Students will not feel that doing exercises at home is a burden or boring task.

​

3.Engagement is the key!

Engagement increases students attention and focus yet promotes meaningful learning experiences.

Interactive Communication such as brief question-and-answer session encourage students to participate actively in class, as opposed to sitting and listening quietly. 

​

4.Small group teaching.

Research has shown that small-group learning (when compared to competitive and individualistic learning) improves

academic achievement, relationships with classmates and promotes psychological well-being.

 

Most importantly, small group instruction allows our teachers to monitor students actions more closely and to provide frequent and individualized feedback at point of use to improve language skills. Small group instruction is an opportunity for teachers to provide additional teaching and practice often needed for struggling students to master important skills or understand key concepts (e.g., grammatical problem and phonetic skills ).

​

Let's see what are the others learning outcomes of small group teaching/learning.

• ensure knowledge/understanding of a topic

• increase ability to problem solve and reason

• increase responsibility for learning

• develop interpersonal skills

• develop practical skills.
