At Heritage Academy, we are committed to offering a comprehensive and engaging Chinese language program that caters to students of all backgrounds. Our curriculum is designed to not only teach the language but also immerse students in the rich tapestry of Chinese culture. Incorporating elements from International programs like the 欢乐伙伴, Huanle Huoban (International Edition), our approach ensures a holistic learning experience.
Interactive Learning with Modern Tools
We leverage cutting-edge online tools to make our lessons interactive and engaging. This integration of technology facilitates a dynamic learning environment where students can practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills effectively.
Mastery of Chinese Characters
Understanding the importance of written communication, our program places significant emphasis on the mastery of Chinese characters. Students begin by recognizing and writing basic characters, gradually progressing to more complex forms. This structured approach ensures a solid foundation in reading and writing, essential components of language proficiency. The Huanle Huoban series, for example, introduces characters in a systematic manner, aiding in effective learning.
Personalized Attention in Small Classes
At Heritage Academy, we believe that individual attention is key to effective learning. Our small class sizes, each accommodating fewer than 20 students, allow for personalized instruction tailored to each learner’s needs. This setting fosters active participation, encourages questions, and enables teachers to closely monitor student progress, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Qualified Native-Speaking Instructors
Our teachers are not only native Chinese speakers but also possess the necessary qualifications and experience to teach the language effectively. Their deep understanding of the language and culture provides students with authentic learning experiences, enriching their understanding beyond textbooks. This authenticity is crucial in helping students grasp nuances and cultural contexts inherent in the language.
Cultural Immersion Activities
Language learning extends beyond the classroom at Heritage Academy. We organize various cultural activities, such as celebrating Chinese New Year and learning Singaporean Chinese national songs, to immerse students in the cultural aspects of the language. These experiences not only enhance linguistic skills but also foster a deeper appreciation for Chinese traditions and customs.
Comprehensive Curriculum Inspired by 欢乐伙伴 Huanle Huoban
Our curriculum draws inspiration from the Huanle Huoban (International Edition), a series specifically designed for children learning Chinese as a second language. This program infuses everyday life contexts, enabling students to learn Chinese in a relatable environment. It offers a variety of resources, including textbooks, activity books, teaching toolkits, and digital materials, all aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning experience.
