Chinese language special

Introducing Chinese

In a world where China is becoming one of the world’s biggest economic players, many teachers believe now is the time to begin to introduce young minds to Chinese culture and language.

But where do you start with a language that appears a world away to the teacher, let alone the pupils? How can a teacher of languages or a primary practitioner use Chinese in their teaching to open the eyes of their pupils?

How others are learning Chinese right now

This MFLE Chinese language special is designed to offer an insight into some of the novel ways Scottish teachers are introducing their pupils, from primary to secondary, to China and the world’s most spoken language. It includes video interviews and audio from those learning the language right now.

You can discuss these stories in the MFLE forums.
