#1 Online Chinese Language School for All Ages & Levels TESTIMONIALS Our clients are THRILLED with the results! Dear Principal or Administrator: Thank you for considering Mando Mandarin as the expert provider for your AdvancED accredited Mandarin Chinese classes. We are proud to announce that we are AdvancED’s only online school that specializes in teaching Chinese as a foreign language to K-12 schools. All lessons are synchronous (taught in real-time) by instructors in China. Classes are dynamic, engaging, fun and affordable. Every lesson is recorded so that students can access their records for review anytime. I promise you that no student will fall behind! We offer unique, innovative and cost-effective language training courses. Classes are taught online by a professional instructor located in China using webcams and distance-learning software (Blackboard Collaborate). Distinguishing ourselves from other online language training programs, we enable students to interact with a native Mandarin speaker. Students are able to ask questions and get feedback on pronunciation and participate in a meaningful way. Each of our Chinese instructors is bilingual and possesses a university degree in Chinese, Linguistics, or Education and receives ongoing training in Mandarin teaching methods. The Mando Mandarin program has a strong focus on pronunciation to minimize language barriers between native Chinese speakers and students. We also incorporate mnemonics to simplify the rules of grammar usage. Utilizing our method, students learn quickly and correctly. Each course is customized to meet the needs and interests of the students so that classes are inspiring and enjoyable.

Here are our recommended guidelines for student assessment. 60% FORMATIVE 40% - Class Participation & Homework: Students are expected to attend class regularly, actively participate during every lesson, and complete all homework assignments. Homework will be graded based on effort and accuracy. The reason homework is combined with class participation is because the teacher will go over the students' homework at the beginning of every class by asking the students to discuss their answers out loud. 20% - Class Project (take-home) 40% SUMMATIVE 15% - Quiz: A ﬁfteen-minute written quiz 25% - Final Exam: A forty-minute oral and written exam at the end of the course.

We want to make sure everything will run smoothly before the course actually begins. Lessons are held in an online classroom called Blackboard Collaborate (formerly called Elluminate). Each individual has the option of accessing the web-based software from his/her own computer. You can also project the screen onto a Smartboard so that everyone can see.
