Experience a comprehension-based communicative language teaching lesson as a student or an observer of a beginning Mandarin Chinese lesson. If you are new to Mandarin Chinese, experiencing students’ perspectives can help you adapt your teaching to the needs of beginning learners of the language you teach. Participants who know Chinese can observe how Diane works with complete beginners and the process of introducing Chinese characters with no prior memorization. The session will model some typical classroom activities such as personalized questions & answers, PictureTalk, and reading as a whole class from a text in Chinese characters. We will debrief techniques and the lesson plan to notice what happened, and help you prepare to use these activities in your classroom.
