Hi, I am Tizzy!
Every child learns differently, so course design and content should be child-centered. The teacher's main task is to assist the students in their learning.
I think the first impression of Mandarin class is very important for children. When children have fun learning Mandarin at an early stage, they will develop a habit of using the language actively. If the momeories of learning Mandarin are positive for children, the learning journey can be longer.
Children explore and learn through play. In Mandarin classes, they need professional teachers to integrate activities and games into the learning process. Even within a limited time frame, children can attain efficient language learning if the teacher helps them learn Mandarin naturally.
