Mission Building a strong foundation for future studies in Chinese and other world languages… Background It is proven that a strong language foundation built at a younger age will facilitate future language learning. On behalf of Multicultural Education Research Center (MERC), we are excited to announce that the After-School Chinese Language Enrichment Program (ACLEP) will launch this coming fall at Jensen Ranch Elementary School, in Castro Valley, CA. UPDATE: The ACLEP after school Chinese class is not offered for the fall session in the 2015-2016 school year. We look forward to opening the enrollment again for the spring session. ACLEP Program The ACLEP is designed for the school-aged students to have the opportunity to learn Chinese language as an enrichment during the after school hours. ACLEP currently has two sessions, fall and spring, throughout the school year 2015-2016. In the fall session, ACLEP offers a 15-week, beginning level, Chinese language and culture class with an interactive and theme-based curriculum. Fall Session In the fall session, students will explore Chinese language and build foundational language skills through lessons, songs and different class activities. The After-School Chinese Language Enrichment Program (ACLEP) teaches young children to develop basic Chinese language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and to gain exposure to Chinese culture. ACLEP makes learning Chinese language fun, natural and relevant for children and the curriculum and materials are especially designed to be meaningful and engaging for young students. Each of our teachers has many years of experiences in Chinese language instruction in the Bay Area and is fluent in both Chinese and English. Our classes provide an open and accessible learning environment for all children. ACLEP provides the opportunity to cultivate a curiosity and interest in language and cultural exchange at a young age and builds a strong foundation for future studies in Chinese and other world languages. We encourage you to reach out for additional information or with any questions you may have. Class Schedule  Students are welcome to register today!
