NCS Student Summer Program｜Support NCS Students

WEDO GLOBAL collaborated again with ELCHK Hung Hom Lutheran Primary School to organize the NCS Student Summer Program  for over 90 students during the summer holiday. The program content is designed by both Chinese and non-Chinese tutors based on the students' Chinese proficiency and abilities, integrating school-based curriculum and diverse Chinese learning materials, such as stories, worksheets, arts and games. Through daily life scenarios,  aiming to enhance students' Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities and interests in learning Chinese.

Diversified Chinese Learning Journey | Fostering Growth and Gratitude 

In class, students read aloud the passage with tutors and gain a deeper understanding of the passage. Tutors also taught students answering techniques, how to find answers from the passage, cultivating their confidence and comprehension skills. Students wrote key vocabulary in their exercise books and worksheets, while tutors introduced diverse practices based on students' interests and progress to enhance their engagement. These practices enhanced their understanding of Chinese and also deepened their knowledge of Chinese character structure and stroke order. After each class, students wrote a learning and gratitude journal to review the vocabulary covered to consolidate their knowledge and memory. This practice allows students to track their entire learning process and to teach students gratitude, helping them develop more positive emotions in the long term.

“This program helped my child to adjust to primary school more easily and faster.”

Learning Through Games | Enhancing Interest in Chinese Learning

In addition to daily life-oriented stories, students could learn Chinese through small games that incorporate Chinese learning elements. These activities not only made learning interesting, but also helped them understand the basic knowledge of Chinese. During the sharing session in class, tutors encouraged students to express their thoughts and opinions to improve their self-confidence and communication skills. To further motivate them, tutors offered small prizes to encourage them to make continued progress and foster a positive learning atmosphere.

Community Experience Activities | Learning Through Daily Life

In addition to learning in the classroom, we have designed and arranged a community experience activity, taking students and their parents to the supermarket for a hands-on learning journey that integrates with daily life scenarios. In the supermarket, students were able to apply the Chinese vocabulary and sentences they have learned, such as reading different nutrition labels, purchasing products, and engaging in actual communication and interaction with store staff and other customers in Cantonese. After returning to school, students share their experiences from the outing, using Cantonese to express their thoughts. This learning experience not only deepened their understanding of Chinese but also helped them to build confidence in using the language for daily communication. Students have shared that the outing was very interesting and hope to have more opportunities like this to engage in practical learning experiences.

“Students were very engaged in class every day, and the tutor-student relationship was also very harmonious also.” Ms Law

Thank you for the school's support, this NCS Student Summer Program was successfully completed, providing students with an unforgettable learning experience and at the same time experiencing the fun of learning Chinese in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The program enhanced students' Chinese language ability, laying a solid foundation for learning in the upcoming school year, and even ignited their interest in learning Chinese and cultural diversity. We look forward to seeing students apply the knowledge they have learned in this program in their future studies, continuing to grow and excel.
