The hurdles to successfully implementing a Chinese educational program can be intimidating to school administrators. Beginning with the academic year 2009-2010 Hardage Chinese (HC) can help guide your school down the path to a methodologically sound, effective Chinese language program which your students will enjoy and which will fit easily into your academic day. We have much to offer both to schools looking to initiate a Chinese Language Program and for those looking to improve upon an already existent program. Our contribution to the development and implementation of your program can involve whatever depth of involvement you wish, and can include assistance with teacher recruitment, teacher training, and/or continued teacher support. Please contact us to learn more.
Upcoming Projects
In January of 2009, HC will welcome Chinese teachers from all interested schools to a one-day workshop providing teachers with the essential skills to deliver engaging, child-centered, theoretically sound Chinese language lessons. Topics will include:

Foundational concepts of applied linguistics
-
How to apply the standards developed by the American Association of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) for foreign language instruction
-
Classroom management

How to incorporate games and play into the classroom

How to apply the Communicative Approach
HC is offering this program on an at-cost basis. Please contact us for more details, or click here to see our program design team (coming soon).
