暑假中文海底世界 Rising 1-2nd Grade

$200.00

 

Course Description “海底世界” contextualizes Chinese language learning in a series of real-world science discoveries and art projects. It taps into technology to create an interactive and immersive marine adventure, where Chinese language serves as a medium of acquiring knowledge and communication. Acting as marine scientists, kids will investigate common ocean creatures, build their profiles, and “publish” a Chinese non-fiction book about marine ecosystems at the end of the eight sessions. Extended concepts like “food chain” and “environmental protection” will be introduced as well. Games, animations, singing, and role-plays will help activate multisensory learning.
