汉语二
2nd Period
About this Course:
This course will focus on the connections made between two people when they meet for the first time. Throughout the year, students will build on the grammar and vocabulary they learned in Mandarin I in order to communicate details of their lives to each other.
Note: This course uses an integrated approach based in the "Flipped Mastery" method during spring semester. Students are held responsible for the details of language learning, such as acquisition of vocabulary and grammar points, while class time is used for honing fluency, confidence, and comfort in speaking Mandarin. If you would like more information about the "Flipped Mastery" method, feel free to contact me.

Language Policy:
New content will be taught mainly in Chinese and students will be expected to use the language to interact with all classroom activities. However, English will be used a fair amount and I do not expect full language use.
Retake Policy:
If a student receives a 90% or higher on a Quiz or Mastery, he or she cannot retake it and must move on to new material.
If a student receives a grade between 80% and 90% on a Quiz or Mastery, he or she may retake it, but if the student wants to move on, they may do so.
If a student receives a grade lower than 79% on a Quiz or Mastery, he or she must work with me to find a time to retake the assessment.
Midterm and final tests may not be retaken.
