Supporting children learning Chinese: Parents and Educators
Posted January 24th, 2008 by admin
Children learning Chinese at school need help at home in a safe environment with sound.
As an innovative parent your child is already learning Mandarin Chinese but you...
- want your child to practise more
- want to lower the overall cost of your child learning Mandarin Chinese
- want a quality product that grows with your child’s needs
- are fed up with books and DVDs that are expensive and old-fashioned
- wish to avoid kids’ websites full of ads and hidden product placements
- are not prepared for your child to have access to sites featuring social networking/ online chat rooms
- want to draw you child away from fun non-educational sites to educational sites that are as much fun
As an official educator, you know that...
- practise is required for effective and efficient language learning
- children learn languages best when natural language learning is emulated and translation avoided
- allowing children to manage their own learning within Personal Learning Environments is productive
- Best in Class digital educational resources are excellent value
Maybe you are a curious parent thinking about Mandarin Chinese for your child. Perhaps you...
- want to try Chinese before committing to expensive face to face tuition - are unable to find a tutor in your area
- are going to China and want your child to glean some Mandarin Chinese before you leave
Help your child learn
- encourage them to practise a little and often - praise them and praise them again - express an interest in what they are learning - relate it to the face to face tuition they receive
