Teaching
Method
There
are mainly two mainstream language teaching approaches in
existence within the industry. One with emphasize on by-passing
the students first language so that student is encouraged
to associate the language directly to a situation or an object.
Another with emphasize on giving the meaning of each vocabulary
or sentences at the first place then through the use of these
vocabularies and sentence patterns students will go through
the process of translation, and eventually one will condition
their brain through exercises to accept the new rules of a
language and reach the state of unconscious competent.
Each
method has its value and draw backs. While the first approach
is excellent in create a faster respond time, it is not suitable
to teach advanced tenses and grammars, such as varies types
of pass tenses. The later one is very suitable to give the
student a good understanding of the grammar but using it on
its own will cause the students to form bad habit when using
the language.
So
in Talking Mandarin Language Centre, we have to use both.
From our years of experience, we have created a unique approach
to merge these two types of teaching techniques together according
to each student's weakness.
We
believe students don't need to pay us just to learn how to
say "Hello" or "How are you" or even few
hundred vocabularies. They pay us for us to teach them how
to discuss an issue with their colleagues or even how to argue
with someone within six months.
