+Curriculum Design

To achieve the visions and goals above, we adhere to the following principals in our twelve year English curriculum design  

·Student Centered Teaching

Central to the English curriculum lies our commitment to unlock every student's potential. Over 65 years, our beliefs remain that student centered teaching is the most effective method in reaching this goal. Our abiding focus on differentiated learning accommodates all types of learners with targeted learning materials, varied class size/lengths, and multidisciplinary activities. With a diverse toolbox of technology, discussions mediums, and real life application opportunities, we aim to excite students at the prospect of learning while at the same time, provide them with a stage to showcase their achievements through exhibitions and competitions.  

·Knowledge and Skills

Effective student centered teaching requires a solid pedagogical framework and an experienced teaching staff. Adhering to the highest standards, Çhingshin Academy follows a rigorous curriculum facilitated by both Chinese and foreign teachers. Through many projects and activities, our students develop best practices for learning at an early age and are constantly challenged to advance their cognitive skills in the target language. As both Chinese and English languages have their strengths, our students benefit from having concepts presented to them from different perspectives across content areas and languages to bolster meaningful learning. Our teachers also set student standards beyond Taiwan’s national requirement in all areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
