The Course

The key to opening the future for a learner is to learn world languages in the 21st century (Jacobs, 2013). Language learning is not limited by only communicating with native speakers of that language but also broadening their cultural understanding and appreciation of target culture as well as their own culture. Students cannot be not only proficient in the language but remains accomplished in the three modes of communication: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational; surrounded by Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, Communities (Clementi & Terrill, 2013). Therefore, learners also sharpen their learning power, gain career opportunities because a learner "develops insight into their own language and culture," as well as "taking a more invigorating and open view of the world" (21st Century Skills Map, 2011). Learning the language allows the student exposure of the real world and various situations one may encounter.

What students will achieve in class:

1. Learn to read, write, speak and understand Mandarin Chinese.
2. Create a personal webpage (website)

5. Learn how to write simple computer codes, also known as the "Coding."
6. College and career ready (CCR) portfolio (upper division Chinese students, including graduating seniors)

Innovation Learning

Learning in the 21st century involves innovative learning. And you cannot learn innovative without technologies. Therefore you must be come with an open-mind to be ready to explore the technology tools in this classroom.

This course is tech-rich and you will be utilizing digital tools and resources for learning throughout the course.

There are tutorials to help students learn these digital tools, many of which can be found on the YouTube and Google sites. Don't be afraid to search for help! (try using search terms such as "Tutorial" or "demo" and the name of the tool or website).
