PEDAGOGY
The teaching methodology of MandarinRocks marks it out as a special language learning institution of Mandarin Chinese. Here are the significant pointers:

• The entire approach is based on the pragmatic approach of Communication and Practice right from Day One!


• The classes are based on the four elemental purposes of any language, viz., LSRW (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing).


• Special care is taken to slowly but steadily involve the students in natural conversations in the adopted language.


• As a natural corollary to the language learning process, special classes are conducted on the rules of Chinese grammar and syntax.


• The mentors guide the pupils with reference to the typical pronunciation, tone, tune and nuances of the Chinese language.


• The faculty members organize regular group discussions, debates, topic description and analyses sittings among the students.


• MandarinRocks also conducts a number of novel practical practices. These include highly interactive sessions where students are taken to shops, restaurants and malls. There they put to practice the principles and ideas inculcated in the classes.

These backup resources open the window of the rich Chinese heritage to the students. The students have to delve deep into this cultural treasure trove as the issues form a part and parcel of the lately introduced Chinese Proficiency Test.
