NTU Confucius Institute - Discussion

[lim_ks]

VooVoo: Yes, the program is about reading certain good extracts of selected books/ certain newspaper articles depending on level. The 2nd half is about writing, objective is to refine the writing using the vocab, contents and sentence structure learnt earlier. I thought it's very interesting to engage the kids and they are taking in only 20 kids per level (I heard it's 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon!) What I like about them is that their class size is very small! That is why I have to \"chopped\" a place for my gals and my sister's.

[VooVoo]

For P1 too?

VooVoo: I am "pestering" them to open for P1. Read Xuelin’s tread for details.

I've just signed DD and DS up for their cultural camp this June hols because they have a segment that brings them to the archery range and let them try archery.


I like the fact that they whole camp is in Mandarin, and 9am-6pm, can just drop them there before work then pick them up after work.

the camp details are in their website : http://www.ci-ntu.com/tcep/programmes/16th-young-confucius-cultural-camp

Mummies can share differences between berries and confucius institute approach? Thinking of switching over. Do they use own books like berries? I think seeing their Chinese assessment book in popular, can we just practice those?

For P1/P2 level, difference is not much in normal and higher chinese. My children did their chinese lessons in confucius institute. They usually recommend the more proficient students to take their compo compre course.

I don know abt berries, but my DD did the enrichment programme which is a comprehensive course…they use the assessment book in the course, but she gets a set of supplementary materials with all the extra stuff. they insert cultural elements in their lessons too. She did DZG and origins of chinese characters in the last few years. But their courses very popular, have to be very KS during renewals.
