Open a window to another culture, communicate in another language, and make discoveries!  Big Learning instructors are fluent Chinese speakers and lessons are designed to build practical language and early literacy skills in a fun, informal language immersion setting with lively games, songs, activities, and an accompanying workbook. This level is appropriate for new beginners and also for continuing students with previous language experience. Classes may include students who have completed one or more beginner or intermediate sessions and also children who hear and speak Chinese at home. Our teachers will make student assessments to form groups and tailor instruction with differentiated activities and workbooks. Students who are ready for more advanced material will be given intermediate or advanced workbooks. As children progress from beginner to advanced, there is more writing practice. Classes are intended for children who are already reading and writing in English. Workbook is included.  Each session (Fall, Winter, and Spring) explores different themes and topics.
