Hello!
It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce the Chinese Immersion Program at Prasan Gateway International School. As an educational expert with a Ph.D. in Education, I have dedicated my career to developing effective language learning models, having previously taught at Srinakharinwirot University in Thailand and currently serving as Head of the International Chinese Education Department and a graduate advisor at Guizhou University of Finance and Economics.
Mandarin Education for Global Leaders
Recognizing the need for an authentic, engaging, and structured approach to Mandarin learning, my team and I have carefully designed this Chinese Immersion Program based on the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) framework. This ensures that our curriculum is not only aligned with global best practices in bilingual education but also seamlessly integrates project-based and interdisciplinary learning methods.
Our program consists of after-school sessions aimed at fostering deep engagement with the Chinese language and culture. Students will develop their proficiency through interactive language lessons, STEAM projects, and storytelling activities, promoting natural language acquisition in a dynamic and immersive environment. The curriculum is structured to support learners of all backgrounds, from beginners to those with prior exposure to Mandarin, ensuring an inclusive and effective language-learning experience.
At Prasan Gateway, we believe that language is more than just communication—it is a gateway to cross-cultural understanding and global competency. By participating in our Chinese Immersion Program, students will not only gain fluency in Mandarin but also develop critical thinking skills, cultural awareness, and a lifelong appreciation for language learning.
I am honored to be part of this groundbreaking initiative and look forward to seeing our students grow into confident, multilingual global citizens.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dannie Yang
