eChinese PreAP Class is designed with six units covering six AP themes: Families in Different Societies; the Influence of Language and Culture on Identity; the Influence of Beauty and Art; How Science and Technology Affect Our Lives; Factors That Impact the Quality of Life; and Environmental, Political, and Societal Challenges. We have adopted Grant Wiggins’s “Understanding by Design” curriculum design theory and integrated Dr. Robert Marzano’s “Highly Engaged Classroom” activities into our teaching pedagogy.
eChinese PreAP Class provides teachers with lesson plans, authentic teaching materials with PowerPoint presentations, exercises, and assessment sheets. It provides students with fun games and real-world projects as their summative assessments to help students gain real language application skills in a simulated situation. Students can practice Chinese in three modes: Interpretive, Interpersonal and Presentational. In addition, students can develop their language skills in the ACTFL five goal areas: communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities.
