Chinese Language Immersion
Research has proven that the first 3 years of a person’s life the most effective time for acquiring speech and language skills. Immersion in an environment rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the language helps children develop their language most effectively.
Odyssey offers full Chinese Language Immersion in all classes across all levels, with every class having a designated full time Chinese Language teacher who stays with the class throughout the day and speaks and interacts with the children primarily in native Chinese Language. Thus, children listen and respond to our teachers in the Chinese Language and acquire the language more readily and naturally. Eventually, they learn to use it as a means of expression and communication in real life context.
