My Chinese name is Kou-Tai Liu. I graduated from the Air Force Academy in Taiwan with BS degree. After 20 years service in military, I retired from Taiwan Coast Guard in 2006 as lieutenant colonel. I immigrated right away to California, I moved to UT in 2007. I love to • Fishing • Reading • Traveling • Learning
This year, • I will use all Chinese methodology to teach. • Everyone in my Chinese class should use only Mandarin to communicate. • I wish to have parents support and cooperation. That means the parents or volunteer comes over to my class should not use English as well. • Only the Chinese environment could help Children to learn more efficiently the second language. • That’s the best way to push children to think and use Mandarin.
Learn Chinese. • Listening: by using children’s songs, ballads and reading story to reinforce their listening capability • Speaking: by using games or competition to help children to learn language without pressure. By conversation and phrase modules practice to raise children’s Mandarin • Reading: Using both Ping-yang and vocabulary to teach, to reinforce their reading capability. To create their self-reading capability • Writing: apart of the basic vocabularies in textbook, training children to use Chinese dictionary. Learning material evaluates step by step from the words to phrase to short sentence even to short article.
