                Mandarin CSL Program     

North Valley Chinese School’s CSL (Chinese as a Second Language) program offers Mandarin classes for youth pre-K through 12th grade with no Mandarin background. Adult program is under investigation.

Campus Location: 1401 Turlock Lane, San Jose, CA 95132; close to 680 and Hostetter. North Valley Chinese School uses the campus of Ruskin Elementary in the Berryessa Union School District.

Date & Time: 9am - 11:10am, on Sundays, consisting of two 1-hour sessions with a 10-minute break in between. The 2010-2011 school year runs from September 12th, 2010, through June 5th, 2010.  Registration is being accepted up through September 12th, 2010.  Please check our web site (http://www.nvcs98.org/registration.htm) for registration form and information.

Textbooks: Textbooks for our youth classes are published by Better Chinese and is designed for non-Mandarin speaking students, in traditional or simplified Chinese characters and Hanyu pinyin, with focus on building students' communicative language proficiency. All four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing/typing, are taught as well as selected Chinese culture topics. Teachers develop supplemental handouts to help enforce teaching. Cost of textbooks, workbooks, and audio/video CD are in addition to tuition and fee. Textbook for adult program will be selected from among popular publishers and is still being evaluated.

Program: For 2010-2011 school year, we plan to offer CSL Youth classes: P (for young beginners) and CSL1 through CSL4. We are also collecting interests in a Beginning Mandarin Adult class.

CSL Youth Classes: This is a multi-year program, designed specifically for students at grades pre-K through 12th. Students enter the CSL Youth program base on their ages and language proficiency. No Mandarin background is needed for students entering P (younger than 2nd grader) and CSL1 (2nd grader or older). Assessment is required for students entering CSL2 and above. Classes are expected to have students of mixed ages, mostly with no or very limited Mandarin background. Class size varies depending on registration (so far no larger than 12). Instructions are given in English and Mandarin, with increasing use of Mandarin as time goes on.

CSL Adult Classes: We are collecting interests in a Beginning Mandarin Adult class. This class will focus on developing communicative language proficiency demonstrated in a culturally appropriate manner. This class is for adults. Hanyu pinyin will be introduced. Minimum registration is 8.
