Learning Chinese, the eLearning Way! | 学习中文，在线学习！

Promoting and prioritizing bilingualism and language learning has not stopped at the Yew Chung International School of Beijing. During this period of virtual learning, Chinese language lessons have continued consistently for all skills levels and grades with the collaborative commitment from teachers and students. The subject framework has not changed principally, however, modifications appropriate for eLearning have been put in place.

The online lessons which are held every day for 30 minutes per lesson continue to incorporate all aspects of language learning such as reading, writing and speaking. Dr Rae Wang explained that “Our school does not want to replicate offline learning and limit how teachers conduct eLessons. We want to enlarge and maximize learning, by also incorporating classic reading and classic poetry” she added. An example is the 24 Solar terms which are an important aspect of Chinese learning and are used by our teachers to give a feel of the world around us to students while learning virtually.

在线课程每天进行，每节课30分钟，依旧包含语言学习的各个方面，比如阅读、写作和口语。汪小瑞博士解释说:“我们学校不想重复线下学习，也不想限制老师的在线授课方式。我们希望通过结合古文阅读和古典诗歌来扩大和最大化学习。”她补充道。24节气就是一个例子，它是中文学习的一个重要方面，我们的老师在虚拟教学中用它来让学生感受周围的世界。

Some of the resources which have been of great help to teachers include the YCIS Education Foundation endorsed i-Learning platform, which Dr Rae considers a vital resource at the moment.  “The content [taught] was from textbooks, but it is not limited to that. All the learning activities were well-designed and are easy for teachers to conduct, and for children to use.” 

给教师提供很大帮助的资源包括耀中教育机构支持的i-Learning平台，小瑞博士认为目前这是一个重要的资源。“(教授的)内容来自教科书，但并不仅限于此。所有的学习活动都设计得很好，老师很容易操作，孩子们也很容易使用。”

Additional resources include Ximalaya, the audio sharing app, the WeRead app (especially useful for secondary students) and an array of picture books for lower primary and younger learners. 

其他资源包括音频共享应用程序Ximalaya、WeRead应用程序(对中学生尤其有用)，以及一系列面向小学低年级和年龄更小的学生的图画书。
