Spiral Curriculum |
|
|
|
IQChinese GO courseware is an eight volume
series, each volume containing ten lessons and each lesson introducing 12
new, high-frequency, common, and “everyday-type” Chinese words. The
entire series employs a “spiral format” that builds on previously taught
vocabulary while only introducing twelve new characters at a time. GO
courseware allows learners to acquire Chinese in a systematic way. Based on
J.S Bruner’s educational theory called, “spiral curriculum”, IQChinese GO courseware is designed to continually review
Chinese characters which have previously been introduced, thus accumulating
“reviewed” knowledge while simultaneously introducing “new knowledge”. |

Type-to-Learn Methodology |
|
|
|
Type-to-Learn is exactly what it
says it is, a way to become fluent with one thousand
basic, high-frequency Chinese characters by actually typing on your
computer. Nothing special is needed, any basic keyboard is
sufficient. You can see exactly what characters and tones are giving
you the most difficulty and then hone in to correct them. This lets students use multiple learning styles based on
sensory preferences: Visual Preferences, Tactile Preferences, Auditory
Preferences, and Kinesthetic Preferences. |
|
|
|
This is a unique approach
that enhances the learner’s word recognition, listening ability and reading
ability simultaneously; in some cases, tripling the speed of learning. |
