A variety of learning materials were used synchronously and asynchronously to achieve the best learning results. Instructor-designed PPTs were used for synchronous online tutoring sessions via the Live Classroom on Chineseforall.org. Authentic materials (print and digital) were used for both face-to-face group sessions and for completing assignments after the online sessions.
Here is a list of materials we used:
- Course packet compiled by the program
-
Elementary Chinese (textbook)
-
A Multimedia Course for Learning Chinese Characters (textbook)
- Chineseliteracy.net (web-based materials and exercises to build literacy foundation)
-
Resource bank materials (online materials compiled by the program)
-
Video Modules (authentic videos with exercises, featuring scenarios such as ordering food, shopping, giving directions, and traveling)
-
Other authentic material: menus, maps & street signs, traveling ads and brochures, promotional ads from stores, and more.
-
Learning Apps: The project team developed a prototype of a game-based learning material for grades 3-5.
