Chinese

Our language teaching method is characterized by its task-based and technology-assisted approach. We design learning outcomes that are effectively instantiated through diverse communication tasks. By integrating these tasks, students not only acquire essential language knowledge but also enhance their practical communication skills, preparing them for real-life language interactions. The integration of technology further enriches the learning experience, providing students with valuable tools to excel in their language acquisition journey.
