Kindergarten Unit 1 Listening



Le Jardin Academy Mandarin Chinese 2013-2014
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten language course focuses on the developemnt of communicative competence in the target language 
and understanding of the culture of the people who speak the language.  It assumes that the students have some prior knowledge
of the language and culture from previous years.
The major means of communication between students and the instructor will be in the target language.  Because students may 
begin formal language learning at various stages of their cognitive developemnt, teachers will adjust vocabulary and content
to reflect developmentally appropriate interests.
An important component of language classes is the use of the language beyond the classroom in the real world.  The integration of 
technology is an important tool in accessing authentic information in the target lanuage and in providing students the 
opportunity to interact with each other and outside Chinese speakers.
