Ni Hao Ni Hao

Why Chinese? Chinese is the world’s most widely spoken first language. Chinese is the third most commonly spoken language in the US. China is heir to the traditions of the world’s most ancient and richest cultures. China is an increasingly important force in business, political and military affairs.

Why now? “The power to learn a language is so great in the young child that it doesn’t seem to matter how many languages you throw their way.” “Children just have this capacity. Their brains are ripe to learn languages.” Dr. Susan Curtiss (Professor of Linguistics UCLA) Children are ready

What is Language Immersion? Students learn academic content through a second language. Students learn second language by encountering and using the language in multiple meaningful contexts. Focus on building proficiency—being able to use the language—not on teaching grammar. Learn by doing

Why immersion? Cognitive development and language development are interdependent. Children naturally use language as a tool for understanding and communicating meaning. Children perceive the school curriculum as important and of value. How children learn

Why immersion? Academic content exposes children to rich and varied vocabulary, language structures and functions Help students acquire language and content without using instructional time specifically to teach the immersion language How children learn

What are the goals of immersion? High levels of academic achievement across all subject areas Interpersonal and academic language proficiency in English and the immersion language Enhanced intercultural understanding for more effective participation in the global community Goals

What are the benefits ? Academic/Educational Enhances reading acquisition and communication skills Cognitive Improves divergent thinking, pattern recognition and problem solving Economic and Political Enhanced employment opportunities Socio-cultural Ability to communicate with other ethnic and cultural groups Academic

Chinese Immersion: will help Heritage Elementary students prepare academically, linguistically, and socially for challenges and opportunities in our global community. Benefits
