| Title: | 2007 Jul: Chinese |
| Authors: | Le@rning Federation, The |
| Keywords: | Chinese |
| Issue Date: | 10-Jul-2007 |
| Abstract: | The TLF Languages online curriculum content is designed to produce high-quality digital learning resources and online tools to help students in years P–10 learn Chinese.
There are two components to TLF Chinese online content: Cracking the code and Close encounters.
The Cracking the code set of learning objects helps students to learn and use the Chinese and character-based writing system. Character-based systems are hard to learn for students used to alphabet-based systems like English. Based on recent National Asian Languages and Studies for Australian Schools (NALSAS) research, these resources aim to enhance students’ understanding of the Chinese writing system through analysis and interaction rather than simply memorisation.
In the Close encounters set of learning objects, based on the principles of Intercultural Language Learning, students use the target language to communicate and interact in authentic activities that portray the socio-cultural characteristics of the target country. The learning objects incorporate a range of rich multimedia with spoken dialogue enabling immersive intercultural language learning experiences not easily generated by students and teachers in the classroom. The learning object scenarios also offer opportunities for teachers and students to integrate other complementary and contributory online and offline activities. |
