June 18, 2007 (Monday) Promoting Chinese in primary schools comes at a very opportune moment, as the National Languages Strategy for England urges every pupil in Key Stage 2 to have access to high quality language learning by 2010. Moreover, ‘Catching them young’ is in compliance with the language-acquisition theory, as current research suggests that the best time to study a new language is before the age of 12.

Otherwise we will lose them in Key Stage 3. Success in Chinese delivery can only be judged by pupils’ enjoyment and enthusiasm for the lesson.

In order to engage all pupils and develop enjoyment of their Chinese learning, we should bear in mind in our daily teaching what primary pupils want to learn and how they want to be taught.
