The songs collected in this book are some well-known and popular Chinese children songs. They have simple words and lyrics so that they are easily sung. Singing songs can improve a student’s speaking and listening skills. In order to master reading and writing skills, students need to practise and complete the accompanying exercises.
Based on the principle of a student-centred approach, this workbook is designed to cater for different levels of learners. There are three levels of exercises for each song (Exercise A, B and C). Exercise A is for the beginners, e.g. second language learners; Exercise B is for learners who have some basic knowledge of the target language; Exercise C, which is more challenging, is for more advanced learners, e.g. young newly-arrived migrants or background language learners. Teachers need to assign the exercise according to the language level of the particular student(s) and, of course, need to encourage them to undertake more challenging work once they have mastered each level.
It is recommended that teachers use this workbook as supplementary material which can be related to the different topics they teach in the classroom. Topics related are suggested only. It is also suggested that teachers use the videos, accessible from YouTube, to teach and the music, which can be downloaded from http://weileu.blogspot.com.au/, to record students’ singing. Teachers simply need to type in “Learn Chinese While Singing” or ‘边唱边学’ on YouTube, which will direct them to the videos.1
