Language classes are formed according to age and Chinese levels. Adopting computer technologies in our teaching, we teach all the four skills of the language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with emphases both on daily conversation and Chinese culture, customs, traditions, and manners.
Nashville Chinese School teaches both traditional and simplified characters. From K to 8th grade, the classes are divided into to tracks: Heritage and CSL (Chinese as a Second Language.)
Heritage track is for native-speaking students to learn the Bopomofo Mandarin Phonetic Symbols and Traditional Chinese characters. Both Hanyu Pinyin and Simplified Chinese characters will also be touched upon in the class. The textbook is MeiZhou Chinese, which structures lessons according to the common experiences of students in the United States and has different levels from elementary to high school.
CSL track is for children from a non-Chinese-speaking family. The children learn Hanyu Pinyin and Simplified Chinese characters from Chinese Made Easy for Kids (Simplified).
NCS also offers one adult class using the university/college level text book “Integrated Chinese”.
To boost the language learning, every student from first grade and above will have the opportunity each semester to receive Chinese cultural lessons taught by specialists. (Culture Classes).
