Dear parents,
I started teaching children Cantonese in November 2017 when I became a Year 1 Cantonese Teacher at Chinese Independent School of Tower Hamlets. I truly enjoy 1) teaching itself and 2) teaching Cantonese.
I boiled down to using games to encourage children to speak Cantonese. I speak Mandarin, English, a bit Spanish, Italian, and started learning Vietnamese, Teochew, Swedish, French and Arabic, so hopefully I understand a bit about the process of language learning. In brief, I want your children to have fun while learning. I’ll let parents and Headteacher speak about their experience working with me.
Class details:
– Year 1 class is designed even for complete beginners; year 2-3 for those who can speak a bit. Please use age range to gauge which class would be appropriate
– Classes use immersive language method, meaning I give instruction in English, but activities will use Cantonese
– Classes are for listening and speaking at the moment. I’ll teach tones and romanization, but not characters for these sessions
– Content:
Year 1 Learning pathway
Year 2 Learning pathway
Year 3 Learning pathway
– We will play games, take an occasional 5-minute break
– Class size setting at 40 now. I will send out cue cards (1. thumbs up, thumbs down, 2. bingo!) for class interaction. Make sure to have a piece of paper with your name, so I can invite you to participate in in-class games! I’ll invite great performers or improvers of the month to join my “front seats” for extra interaction!
