About
Mandarin Chinese official language has become an important tool of business and cultural exchanges for all foreigners willing to work with China or Chinese communities in various countries outside China. To add to that importance, is the need of preserving Mandarin language among the new Chinese communities’ youngsters and children around the world. Education Canada is the founder of TCSOL in Canada and perhaps one of the world’s first pioneers of this program since 1995. Teaching the rules of Chinese grammar Conversation can be extremely challenging if you don’t have the proper training. Since native Chinese speakers learn grammar incidentally, many Chinese teachers find it easy to make grammatical corrections but difficult to explain the grammatical rules behind them. The Teaching Chinese TCSOL Diploma Program provides you with a thorough understanding of different aspects of grammar and enables you to learn the techniques to teach this subject effectively in a classroom.
In this course you will find concepts set in an interesting and humorous tone to provide you and your students with a better learning experience.
