I Can Speak is especially created to help young students learn oral Chinese in an interactive way, via a natural language acquisition process. The books use eye-catching colours and illustrations, fun stories and games, and memorable rhymes and songs in order to enhance the learning process and build a solid foundation in spoken Chinese. Price is for a set of 4 books and one CD.
I Can Speak consists of 32 books, each covering different daily themes. The English-language series enables teachers to broaden students’ Chinese language capacity in an interrelated, logical and systematic manner, while parents can also support their child’s progress, and students can practice their newfound knowledge at home.
Each book contains several key elements:
The Main Chapter comprises “Let’s Learn” (ten frequently used words relating to the book’s theme), “Key Words” (1-2 additional basic Chinese words), and “Key Sentences” (1-2 useful Chinese phrases). Additionally, “Let's Listen”, “Let's Sing” and “Let's Speak” encourage students to practice their vocabulary, consolidating the learning process.
The Work Page includes “Let's Practice”, “Let's Do It” and “Let's Have Fun”. These spoken exercises encourage children to interact independently with the vocabulary they have learned, in an engaging and creative manner.
The final Revision section summarises each book’s key contents.
The sections have been designed to work together, encouraging children to practice their new vocabulary in order to further reinforce language learning.
Meanwhile, Daily Practice aims to consolidate this learning with suggested daily drills that practice each book’s key themes and vocabulary.
As students complete each book, they assess their progress using the “How Did You Do?” page. Each book also includes an Award page, intended as a positive reinforcement of the learning process, and additional encouragement for young students upon completion of each book.
