Teaching conceptions:
- Main ideas of Chinese teaching in Beijing Mandarin School:
- Student’s speaking mainly: students’ speaking will occupy more than 60% of the time, and the teacher’s will occupy less than 40% of the time. Learn to speak is only in speaking instead of listening and reading.
- Not strictly follow the textbook: the teacher will select the most important expressions from the book and combine them with the student’s background, so that the student can learn the living language instead of the dead language from the book.
- Content focus: every session should not contain too many new points. For the beginners, from 5-12 within one session is better, rather than giving 40 points along with teacher’s explanation without time of training.
- Training process:
5% + 90% + 5%
(Input)+ (training) + (output)
- Training:
4 steps at least on each point and have the student use them:
- Student’s repetitions lead by the teacher.
- Questions & answers on the content mentioned in repetitions.
- Substitution after a small survey of vocabulary.
- Performance or demonstration of the student’s ability.
