During their time outside of the classroom, tour guides lead students in an exciting activity program, where students practice Chinese in real-life situations.
Native teachers at the Chinese Language School use dynamic teaching methods to encourage engagement and learning during class. Through games, role plays, debates, and discussions, teachers encourage speaking in Chinese from day one to facilitate language learning.
