ALL FAMILIES – PLEASE RESPOND TO SURVEY by 4/30
PCLS is considering incorporating Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (for students over 13 yo) and Children’s Chinese Competency Certification (for students 7-12) into the curriculum and make it a mandatory testing that students take once every 2-3 years. This would be a great opportunity for:
-
For students / parents: to understand how the students are doing in learning Chinese. Parents can then plan their children’s future Chinese lessons or adjust the current learning method and pace.
-
For teachers: to understand how their students are learning the language. Teachers can then examine their teaching methods for future course plans
If this is incorporated into the school curriculum, this testing will take place during language class time – 1-2 hours depending on the level, and the related fee ($30-40) would be added to the tuition.
We would like to get your thoughts on whether you think this would be beneficial to your child(ren). To make sure your voice is heard, please kindly provide your anonymous feedback in this Google form. The result from this survey will be used to facilitate planning for the next school year.
