Fluid Mandarin Mastery

This 12th-grade Mandarin Chinese sequence focuses on synthesizing basic grammar points (word order, measure words, particles, and questions) into authentic communication. Students engage in a project-based learning journey, scripting and performing realistic scenarios while utilizing peer review to refine their grammatical precision.

Scenario Blueprint

Students select a real-world scenario and outline their communicative goals, identifying the specific grammatical structures (measure words, question forms, etc.) necessary for their context.

Dialogue Construction

Pairs of students draft their scripts, intentionally integrating a checklist of grammar points including word order, measure words, and the 'le' particle.

Grammar Audit

Students exchange scripts for a 'grammar audit,' identifying and correcting errors in word order, classifiers, and particle usage through peer feedback.

Fluent Flow

The focus shifts to oral fluency and pronunciation, with students rehearsing their scripts to master the rhythm and intonation of their synthesized grammar.
