Effective, Sustainable Programs
Chinese language programs are all the rage today, but most of them will wither and die within a few short years. The reason? They are not designed and implemented in a way that allows American students to succeed.
Dr. Waltz is a skilled curriculum designer who can help your program get off to a good start and help all students reach proficiency goals rapidly and easily. Old-style book-based Chinese instruction, with large amounts of rote memorization and rote writing, does not work with American students. AC&S Chinese programs take advantage of American school culture and Western psychology to jumpstart learning..
The future success and sustainability of your Chinese language program depends on the foundation set for it in the first years. Dr. Waltz will help you make sure that foundation is solid and optimized for Western learners.
