AFR Christian Child Care Academy
Mandarin Chinese
Accelerated Learning & Multiple Language Instruction
Children learn better when they move their bodies.
- We use Sign Language to help children learn vocabulary in English, Mandarin, and Spanish.
- We also use short videos with native speakers who teach the vocabulary and sentences to children on the videos through direct instruction and then games, songs, and actions.
*During the video the children participate in the games, songs, and actions.
*Then when the children learn the games well enough we play them after the video. The videos build upon themselves exspanding the childs vocabulary.
- We also use the vocabulary during the day in other activities such as
using the sign for wash your hands, saying the English phrase: wash your hands, and saying the Spanish phrase: lavarse los manos.
- The children also sign, use the vocabulary and sing the songs in Mandarin.
