Textbook

• Chinese Made Easy 4 is the fourth book of the CME series. At the end of the course, the students will be able to use extended language to talk about country, cites, community, family life, holidays as well as traveling.

• The teacher provides students with relevant background knowledge. It builds a foundation which will facilitate students to better understand how to learn Mandarin well.

The Steps of Teaching and Learning

• Preparation (Knowledge Input)• Listening Comprehension (Modeling)• Retelling (Oral Production---words & phrases)• Reading Comprehension (Culture Input)• Mixed production

(Discussion/Role-playing/Presentation)• Written production (Required topics related to

the lesson)

• Students learn better in an environment where they can use the language in a realistic context. Problem solving and information transferring interactions allow students to use the language purposely. The focus for students is on completing the tasks and language provides the means. Limited language forms are used selectively and repeatedly.
