Creating Chinese<br />
language<br />
immersion<br />
environment<br />
Chicago North Shore<br />
Chinese Center was founded<br />
in 2017. We are located<br />
in Wilmette. From our<br />
Chinese immersion summer<br />
camp to our Chinese<br />
immersion after-school<br />
program, we have just the<br />
language immersion program<br />
to fit your needs. Our<br />
past summer camp programs<br />
are really a big success.<br />
Parents came to us by<br />
word of mouth.<br />
The center aims to create<br />
lifelong language learners<br />
through encouraging the<br />
development of exceptional<br />
Chinese language<br />
skills early in life. To this<br />
end, the center offers a rigorous<br />
10- week language<br />
immersion experience for<br />
students between ages of<br />
3.5 and 16 years old.<br />
Speaking in Chinese<br />
while engaging in meaningful<br />
cultural exploration<br />
projects, students<br />
make unrivaled strides in<br />
language acquisition in<br />
only 10 weeks. Through<br />
the learning experience,<br />
students become linguistically<br />
proficient and culturally<br />
versed, gaining the<br />
language skills and global<br />
awareness to succeed in<br />
school and beyond. We<br />
will group children based<br />
on their language level and<br />
give them different assignments.<br />
The key difference between<br />
our organization<br />
and others is that we advocate<br />
the full language<br />
immersion concept. Our<br />
teachers are experienced<br />
and authentic Chinese<br />
native speakers. We create<br />
an authentic Chinese<br />
speaking classroom. We<br />
also request our students<br />
to communicate with our<br />
teachers and between them<br />
in Chinese. Our immersion<br />
program focuses on<br />
improving learners’ writing<br />
skills, reading skills,<br />
conversation skills and<br />
listening skills of Chinese,<br />
expanding their Chinese<br />
vocabularies, and providing<br />
them in-depth exposure<br />
of Chinese culture.<br />
Our Chinese language<br />
immersion camp is a<br />
place for both fun and<br />
knowledge where we advocate<br />
learning through<br />
play and by doing. We<br />
have five themes: Exploring<br />
Nature, Rising Stars,<br />
Time to Shine, Chinese<br />
Brush Painting and Little<br />
Chef. Each theme runs<br />
two weeks. In the past<br />
two years’ summer camp,<br />
students learned and improved<br />
their Chinese<br />
through singing, dancing,<br />
performing, writing, reading,<br />
cooking and brush<br />
painting. Students choose<br />
their favorite weeks to<br />
sign up. One-week sign up<br />
is permitted.<br />

ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM!<br />
digital<br />
From Page 2<br />
dren and media a few years back, and in<br />
a nutshell, the latest research shows that<br />
spending media time together with kids is<br />
good for them. That includes gaming, robotics,<br />
and believe it or not, watching TV<br />
(I still struggle to wrap my head around<br />
TV being good for my kid).<br />
In January, I joined the brilliant team<br />
at Digital Adventures because they’ve<br />
managed to create an incredible coding,<br />
robotics, and game design program that<br />
accomplishes this and more. And as a parent<br />
that doesn’t know enough about how<br />
to support my child’s interest in Roblox,<br />
robotics, coding, and gaming, I’m grateful<br />
to have them as a partner. Our educators<br />
have figured out how to harness the<br />
power of emerging technology to help<br />
parents and kids of all ages to have fun<br />
while developing the social-emotional<br />
intelligence, a problem-solving skill set,<br />
and an entrepreneurial mindset to live a<br />
healthy, happy, and successful life.<br />
So what are you waiting for? I hope to<br />
see you in class soon.<br />
