In this workshop, Dr. Lin will provide practical tips and techniques for K-12 Chinese teachers and showcase many useful and highly engaging activities in the classroom. These activities are designed to develop students' high-level thinking ability and to promote language skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Dr. Lin will select exemplary activities from the well-received Chinese Treasure Chest, Vol. 1, 2, and the newly published Vol. 3 to demonstrate lessons that apply the 5C standards and the 3 modes of communications in world language teaching and learning. Participants will learn innovative and practical teaching techniques through many hands-on activities which they can apply in their classroom to help students learn the Chinese language and culture in a more effective manner. Confucius Institute in Chicago invites you to join us for the workshop.
