Anmeldung / 报名 über: info@aki-goettingen.de

This one-day workshop will begin with a discussion of the principles of standards-based, thematic, learner-centered instruction in Chinese. It will include experiential language learning demonstrations, as well as specific foci on comprehensible input via authentic video, story-telling, incorporating maximal use of student output, task-based grammar and vocabulary learning, building towards voluntary free reading, and encouraging personal expression in writing. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of backward design and curriculum development, as well as performance-based assessment. Participants will come away with an understanding of 21st century learning, as well as many useful suggestions on how to energize their classrooms.
