Learning Language in Taiwan with Different Countries’ Classmates

Fun Mandarin Camp 2 0 1 6

Welcome to United Daily News

United Daily News originated in 1951. In addition to the newspaper enterprise, we have been devoted to the extension of education enterprise. Because of the learning craze of the Chinese language due to the globalization, United Daily News and World Journal cooperate to hold “UDN Fun Mandarin Camp.” This year enter into the eighth session. This camp principally focuses on designing various and practical lessons for Chinese and foreign teenagers.

Confronting the wave of globalization brings changing and impact. The knowledge of textbooks and school exams cannot satisfy people’s requirements about the acquisition of knowledge.

By combining the core of Internet information and extensive friend sourcing of United Daily News and World Journal, we will collect and plan a series of activities with the newest trends, enlightenment, and ingenuity to emphasize Chinese culture and creativity and Taiwanese customs for everyone in UDN Fun Mandarin Camp.

1 Staff Member to 6 Students

6 : 1

Safety is the most important issue to children, so six students will have one staff member to take care of their life and observe their learning problems in the course. Thus, the staff members assist students to improve together.

Coming into Life

Language leaning not only lies in the classroom, but also lies in interaction and communication with other people. Then, children can grow from playing. Following their new friends from different places, they get together to enjoy learning Chinese and bravely make contact with new cultures. Therefore, they re-open their passion for leaning Chinese!

Practical Learning Materials

Before beginning the camp, children have a classification examination so the materials the children use are suitable and have practical contents. Not only different genders but also the cross ages have to cooperate with each other to learn Chinese in this camp.

Diverse Abilities

We believe that through all the Chinese lessons and mission activities, it foster students’ abilities of organization, leadership communication, and to have a open mind to experience different cultures.

Travel to Learn

By traveling half-way around the island, children will feel no stress when using their three hundred vocabularies and sixty grammar patterns. Thus, the children’s conversations are not restricted to classroom lessons so that they can interact with local people in real life.

Immediate Learning & Using

The activity mission aims to encourage children coming into life. Children immediately use contents to talk with local people. While children use skills immediately, they will get real feedback.

✓ Going beyond Language Learning

✓ Thinking Out of the Textbook

✓ Applying Learning Language

Children cultivate their five senses to record their moods and write down their thoughts about everything. Children also can use technologies to produce an exclusive memorial book by using iBuild to record their adventure journeys and sweet memories.

App Memorial book

We focus on language learning which offers various designs. Regardless of getting together with classmates, going to visit landscapes, participating in mission activities during class or after the class, these activities assist children to use what they learn.

Digital LearningThe unique “Type to Learn” method of learning Chinese courseware can effectively assist children to recognize the Chinese character, correct their pronunciation, so they can easily improve themselves in a fun way.

Course Features

Children use ingredients and kitchenware to experience and learn language in a professional and safe cooking space. We hold a competition with a time limit to stimulate children to ask the assistance of passersby in the supermarket, and request them to help the children to purchase the correct ingredients. After the competition, children will return to cook the food in the classroom and share their thoughts.

The Secret Chamber GameWe specifically arrange a laser gun competition to promote children’s friendship and sense of unity. The Living Mall simulates a war in a Middle Eastern city, and by using realistic story plots of ten types of exciting and various mission contents, the children complete the realistic mission with the help of the coach’s instruction.

Ordering Drinks

Taiwan has various beverage stores. Just tea alone has dozens of choices, and children can follow their own taste to adjust the amount of ice and sugar. After children learn the basic vocabularies in the morning class, they can go to a real beverage store to order their exclusive drink.

Half-day Manager

We encourage students to challenge themselves while learning. Through the activity of half-day manager, children can face different customers, deal with customers’ problems and can bravely solve different situations.

Course Features

Children use their imagination to play the role of a storyteller and follow the picture cards to say the correlated words, such as a vocabulary, a sentence or making a sound. Therefore, playing this game can let children develop their imagination, use Chinese and exercise their wits to win the game.

We hope children will not forget their original intentions. Hence, children have to write their anticipations about the future and go to the post office to send the future letter. After one year, the future letter will return to the children at unexpected time; this letter may urge them to make progress to complete their dream.
