Age/Chinese Requirements: 

  • Not age specific. You’ll need to be able to work Zoom (open link from a website, raise hands, mute, see chat link, etc.). Children in these classes usually range from 8-13. 不限年齡。您需要能夠使用Zoom（從網站打開連結、舉手、靜音、查看聊天連結等）。課程孩子年齡大部分都在 8-13歲之間。
  • Children in this class require fluent conversational skills to follow directions and discussion. 此課程中的孩子需要具備流利的中文口語能力，才能理解指示和參與討論。
  • Students currently in our programs that are Level 2 and above can participate. Depth of speech presentations and discussions will variate with your level of Chinese while topics will remain the same. For new students, you should be speaking Chinese at home or have attended a Chinese Immersion program for at least 5 years. Most students know how to read at least 500+ characters in our current programs and can use Zhuyin for characters they don’t know. Although not required, knowing Zhuyin will be helpful. New students who know pinyin but also know characters well are fit for this program as well for Summer. 目前就讀於我們的二年班級以上的學生非常適合參加這個課程。對於新學生來說，基本條件是需要能夠在家裡說中文或至少參加了5+ 年的中文沉浸式課程。大多數學生在我們的一年班級中至少認識500+ 個漢字，並可以使用注音來學習不熟悉的漢字。雖然不是必需的，但了解注音會很有幫助。對於在拼音方面表現良好和已經認識漢字的新學生也非常適合參加這個夏令營。

Class Size: 

  • Small classes start at 5 with a max of 10. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the size by a handful of students due to: class switches, video only options students, students who switch time slots due to our flex option. 
  • 小班課程開始於5人，最多不超過10人。由於學生轉班、只參加視訊課程或因彈性選擇而更改上課時間，我們保留增加或減少幾名學生的權利。

Time Flex Option: 

  • If in the same session your class is listed with many time option, you’re allowed to attend any of the time sessions for ultimate flexibility of scheduling. For example, if in a May session there are two times listed for this class, both Zoom links will be given in your Dashboard Class site and you can just click on the particular time you’d like to attend that day. 
  • 如果您的課程在同一個課程學期中有多個時間選項，您可以參加任何時間的課程，方便給家庭最大時間彈性的安排。例如，如果在五月份的課程中有兩個時間可選，兩個Zoom鏈接將顯示在您的課程課網站上，您可以點擊您當天想要參加的特定時間。

Where?

  • Zoom links will be under the lesson date/number on the class menu and you can click through to the zoom link right before class starts. All class videos will be posted here in the site.  
  • 本課都是利用網路 zoom 在進行。 開課之前請到網頁點入 Zoom 連結上課。每堂課都會有錄影，所以沒法當天上課可以隨時參考錄影。影片會保存放網上限時365天，需要延長時間請隨時聯絡我們. 

Video Option:

  • Many of our students do video only with amazing results. Some do a mix of video and live online. They can go at their own pace to do the classes and still be able to listen to other students answer questions and see what their peers are thinking and how they are answering. If there’s a sharing day or a presentation day, then video only students are always welcome to come share. At any time you need to go video only, you have the ultimate flexibility to do that since videos are uploaded daily by the end of the day of each class day. You can review and re-watch anytime as well. 
  • 我們有許多學生僅參加視訊課程，並獲得了驚人的成果。有些學生則混合視訊和線上課程進行學習。線上影片可以讓學生按照自己的進度進行課程，仍然能夠聽取其他學生回答問題並看到同儕的想法和回答。如果有分享日或演講日，僅參加只看影片課程的學生也可以參加。任何時候因爲時間，學校或家庭緣故需要轉換成只看影片都可，由於每個課堂日的視頻會在當天結束時上傳，因此您可以擁有最大的彈性。您也可以隨時回顧和重看視頻。

Supplies 應需用品 （自行選購）:

  • Textbooks – we will be uploading the worksheets and character recognition cards to the site for printout each week so you don’t need to worry about purchasing workbooks. For class books, we’ll be giving you the links of the ebooks you can purchase or just read along in class would be enough. For those that want to have the physical books for review later, you can purchase them on 博客來 or Gloria’s Bookstore after we’ve gone over it in class. We prefer kids to read with us in class and not pre-read (because it spoils the surprise and fun)! In addition, you can ask them if they actually liked that book and then consider purchasing afterwards to reread and review. 
  • 我們將每週上傳作業和漢字識字卡，供您列印，因此您不必擔心購買練習冊。至於課本，我們將提供您可以購買的電子書鏈接，或者只需在課堂上跟老師讀就可以了。對於那些想要實體書以便以後複習的學生，您可以在課堂上瀏覽後在博客來或Gloria's Bookstore上購買。我們希望孩子們能在課堂上和我們一起閱讀，而不是提前閱讀（因為這會損害了在課堂上的驚喜和樂趣）！此外，您可以問問孩子們他們是否喜歡那本書，然後再考慮購買以便複習故事。

FAQ

  • Are there siblings discount? We are not offering any discounts for siblings at this time. 
  • 是否有兄弟姐妹折扣？目前我們不提供兄弟姐妹折扣.
  • Are siblings allowed to sit together? It depends on your family and how your children work together. Some prefer siblings to sit apart with different screens if possible to minimize disturbances to their study and they feel more ownership. However, there are some siblings that like to sit together and it makes them work harder. 
  • 兄弟姐妹是否可以坐在一起？這取決於您的家庭和孩子們的相處方式。有些家庭希望兄弟姐妹坐在不同的銀幕前，如果可能的話盡量分開以減少干擾，他們會感覺更有責任感。但也有一些兄弟姐妹喜歡坐在一起，這樣他們會更加努力。
