Ask Our Curriculum Experts

An immersive environment
Children learn best in an immersive environment where they constantly hear and speak the language they are learning. At LingoAce, we provide an immersive online experience where teachers follow a rigorous curriculum so your child can build a strong foundation in Mandarin Chinese.

Practice after class
Your child should practice Mandarin Chinese as much as possible after class. Apart from speaking Mandarin Chinese as much as possible, we encourage your child to do their homework. Our online interactive and offline homework are given and reviewed each lesson. Each homework is methodologically created to reinforce the retention of lesson concepts and difficult words. We also incorporate color psychology in our homework to keep our learners engaged.

Get in touch with the culture
Expose your child to the culture by watching Mandarin Chinese TV programs or movies or attending festivals in your local neighborhood. Some libraries in communities with a large Chinese population also hold events during Chinese holidays. Check out our blog post for some suggested reads.

Aligned with globally accredited standards
Our curriculum is designed using global standards and benchmarks like the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL), Youth Chinese Test (YCT), Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK), Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), China Ministry of Education, Singapore Ministry of Education, and 21st Century Skills.

Engaging and interactive design
We take a learner-first approach when designing our curriculum. Using vivid illustrations, interactive games, and engaging stories, we give learners the practice they need to learn a new language.

Effective and high-quality curriculum
Our curriculum undergoes user-based testing and before launch so our curriculum is of the highest possible quality.

Learner first environment
From learning methods, lesson scheduling, learning duration and progress tracking, we are with you and your child to ensure an authentic, effective, convenient and transparent learning environment.

Please see The LingoAce Difference.

Effective lesson plan
From curriculum creation to courseware, we make sure each lesson plan is constantly assessed and updated to integrate the latest teaching methods and research.

Please refer to We make Chinese come alive, from creation to execution.

Transparent progress reports and playback We involve parents through regular detailed reports with performance insights, strengths, and areas to work on. Playback of each class provides parents a non-invasive way to personally assess the learning progress. As a gauge, please see the intended learning results of our New Foundation Program Level 1 in the chart below. For the program, we start with everyday topics aimed to help learners build a good foundation with Chinese language skills.

introduce themselves;
say thank you;
count to ten.
