Language Aims & Classroom Games

It's winter, and it's the mid-year blue.  If you are looking for new ways to energize your classes, or need a pick-me-up for your regular lessons, or feeling overwhelmed with the demands of being a teacher during the age of "standards",then this is the workshop for you.  This light-hearted workshop is packed with practical, easy-to-use rhymes, games, activities and projects that not only engage both students' minds and their bodies, but also simplify and awaken your Chinese curriculum. The presenter will modal how she uses every minute in the classroom to keep students actively involved in learning and practicing the language.  Participants will walk away with valuable strategies to use the very next day.  Please join us for some fun and meaningful professional development!  Also, please be ready to share your classroom-proven activities with other teachers during Share & Show. This workshop is for teachers who teach k16 Chinese at an American institution. 

About the presenter:
Jian Gao has been actively involved in education for over 30 years as a classroom teacher, consultant, and author. She built one of the most successful Chinese programs in the nation at Belmont Hill School of Massachusetts, where students won numerous top prizes at the international and national "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for High School Students held annually in China and in America. Many of her students placed out of the foreign language requirement at their universities, such as Harvard, Yale, Brown, Tufts just to name a few.

Teachers and administrators came from all over the nation to observe Jian Gao's teaching, and walked away feeling inspired, excited, energized, and most of all, with a vision for creating a learning environment where teachers love to teach and students love to learn. A dynamic presenter at professional conferences, Jian Gao is frequently invited to share her systematically developed materials and her innovative and effective teaching methods - all proven successful in her own teaching.

Jian Gao is an author of five books.  Chinese Breeze - Learn with Ease is an innovative two-level course for junior high or high school students. The combined Chinese Breeze 1 & 2 provide a sequential curriculum that takes students from beginning to intermediate level of fluency.  The other three books are supplementary books for teachers of Chinese.
Currently, Jian Gao works as the Program Specialist at the Confucius Institute, University of Massachusetts Boston. She is designing the Effective Teacher Workshop Series, working with classroom teachers, curriculum specialists, and administrators to create a comprehensive Chinese curriculum that keeps the proficiency standards, instruction, and assessment tightly focused and connected.
