The Chinese AP & AP Course Syllabus
The key to opening the future for a learner is to learn world languages in the 21st century (Jacobs, 2013). Language learning is not limited by only communicating with native speakers of that language but also broadening their cultural understanding and appreciation of target culture as well as their own culture. Students cannot be not only proficient in the language but remains accomplished in the three modes of communication: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational; surrounded by Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, Communities (Clementi & Terrill, 2013). Therefore, learners also sharpen their learning power, gain career opportunities because a learner "develops insight into their own language and culture," as well as "taking a more invigorating and open view of the world" (21st Century Skills Map, 2011). Learning the language allows the student exposure of the real world and various situations one may encounter.
Class Rules:
1. Come to class on time.
3. No eating, drinking in class.
4. Bring your chromebook + charger daily.
5. Turn off your cell phone. Do put them away.
6. Courtesy and respect for the rights and property of others is expected.
7. The room will be maintained clean and orderly.
8. Be a successful Raider: a Thinker, a Contributor, and a Communicator.
9. Follow the school dress code.
Grading Policy:
The Use of technology:
More spontaneous learning tools are embedded in the IB curriculum particularly the Screencastify, Loom, Zoom recording with Youtube conversion for authentic learning. In addition to the technology tools teachers assigned, students are able to use other technology tools, with the same purpose and function in mind, to complete assignment tasks.
