LEARNING Cantonese is ‘4’ Every ‘1’!<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

LISTEN!\u00a0 Learning Cantonese Chinese doesn’t have to be boring, tedious and hard. Anyone can do it!<\/em> Let me debunk all these myths and negativity for you!<\/p>\r\n

With an empathic, experienced and knowledgeable<\/em> teacher<\/a>; a well-structured<\/em> curriculum and textbooks<\/a>; and – the involvement<\/em> of the students (the most important!), learning Cantonese<\/a> can be a piece of cake!<\/p>\r\n

I have been instilling fun<\/em>, laughter<\/em> – and the right frame of mind<\/em> as well as discipline<\/em> into my Cantonese classroom since 2004. I make systematic<\/em> language learning a pleasant, fruitful and accessible experience for everyone<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

Direct approach is the method I use in teaching, where only<\/em><\/strong> the target language (in this case, Cantonese Chinese) is spoken in class, since the first lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

My pedagogy is strongly, but not exclusively, informed by theories and practice of psychology – including counselling (for cultivating core conditions for growth from Rogerian therapy); developmental psychology (for identifying Zone of Proximal Development of language learners); cognitive psychology (for creating teaching materials optimising for memory retention); personality psychology (for understanding learners’ information processing preference(s)) and educational psychology (for pedagogical approaches).<\/p>\r\n

I view recognition of and responding to individual differences and preferred learning style(s) of a language learner as paramount. Some learners, for example, find learning through abstract ideas challenging (‘S’ information processing type), content will be presented in a relatively concrete, tangible fashion so as to enhance comprehension.<\/p>\r\n

At the same time, I’m committed to stretch my students’ – both children and adults – capabilities wherever possible as stressed in the statutory framework (e.g. Early Years Foundation Stage) from UK Department of Education.<\/p>\r\n

Let me take you along this magical journey whether you are in London, Norway, Sweden or wherever you are in the world!<\/p>\r\n
