    Description

    Blended learning is a set of curriculum design and teaching practices emphasizing the appropriate use of technology for the presentation of material outside of class time combined with the focused use of valuable class time for learner interaction. In blended learning design for world languages, pre-class materials for the learner present the learner with new language material to absorb and practice independently, while in-class materials support the teacher’s organization of focused interactive practice, with an emphasis on communication. 

    This publication, CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES FOR BLENDED LEARNING IN BEGINNING CHINESE, focuses on in-class activities for beginning learners of Chinese. In 20 lessons, each featuring several sets of PowerPoint slides, in-class learning activities comprising many foundational language structures in Chinese are presented in a classroom-ready format. 

    How to Use the PowerPoint Files

    This publication is designed to work in tandem with pre-class materials titled Interactive Video Lessons for Chinese Grammar from the University of Minnesota (you must fill in this form to request access to the pre-class materials). Students can be assigned to watch the Interactive Video Lessons to prepare for class. During class, the teacher can make use of the PowerPoint files offered here to conduct activities focusing on communicative practice.

    The PPT files are offered in a compressed format (a zipped archive). The archive will expand automatically on most computers, revealing a series of folders, one folder per lesson. The exact number of PPTs varies from lesson to lesson. The titles of each lesson’s PPTs show the order in which they are arranged: Part 1 comes before Part 2, and if further subdivided, Part 1A comes before Part 1B etc.

    The PPTs are designed for teachers to display directly in class to the students. As a user, YOU ARE PERMITTED to make your own copy. The Speaker’s Notes on each slide provide instructions in Chinese about how to conduct each activity for which the slides are designed.
