Mandarin Chinese
Confucius Institute Mandarin Chinese courses provide learners with a perfect combination of modern multimedia
technology and expert human teachers. The course represents the most current thinking and research on language
education and online learning. It takes advantage of what the computer can do best: provide personalized learning,
rich media content, and learning tools for language basics, ample culture content, and vast amount of exercises. But
unlike most computer-based learning or online language programs, we also provide live instruction through an expert
instructor to take care of what computers cannot do: high-level communication practices, relevant feedback, social
interaction, and instructions about learning strategies.
According to the Confucius Institute curriculum; to learn a foreign language successfully, one must have the following:




Exposure to large amount of engaging content in the language
Numerous opportunities to use the language for real purposes
Immediate and high quality feedback
Access to individualized learning content
Mandarin Chinese I:
This course offers students an introduction to Mandarin Chinese. In addition to building a meaningful vocabulary
students will learn the basic concepts of sentence structure, pronunciation, and writing. The course curriculum will

and has been very successful.
Note:
This is a year long, full credit course. Students can participate in the course via the live video network
and do not need to travel to A.W. Beattie Career Center
Prerequisites:
This course will be offered through the A.W. Beattie Career Center and is open to students in grades
6 through 12 within participating districts. Students must have a 3.0 GPA.
