WEDO GLOBAL collaborated with the ELCHK Hung Hom Lutheran Primary School to organize the NCS Student Summer Program during the summer holiday. The program content is designed by both Chinese and non-Chinese tutors based on the students' Chinese proficiency and abilities. It integrated the school-based curriculum with diverse Chinese learning materials, such as stories, worksheets, and games, aimed at enhancing students' Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities and interests through everyday life situations.

Diversified Chinese Learning Journey | Fostering Gratitude and Growth
In class, students wrote key vocabulary in their exercise books and worksheets, while teachers introduced varied activities based on students' interests and progress to enhance their engagement. These activities enhanced their understanding of Chinese and also deepened their knowledge of Chinese character structure and stroke order. After each class, students wrote a learning and gratitude journal to review the vocabulary covered and consolidate their knowledge and memory. This practice allows students to track their entire learning process and hopes to cultivate gratitude, helping them develop more positive emotions in the long term.

Learning Through Play | Enhancing Interest in Chinese Learning
In addition to life-oriented stories, students could learn Chinese through small games that incorporate Chinese learning elements.These activities not only made learning interesting, but also helped them understand the basic knowledge of Chinese. During the sharing session in class, tutors encouraged students to express their thoughts and opinions to improve their self-confidence and communication skill. To further motivate them, tutors offered small prizes to encourage them to make continued progress and foster a positive learning atmosphere.

Community Experience Activities | Learning Through Everyday Life
In addition to learning in the classroom, we have designed and arranged a community experience activity, taking students and their parents to the supermarket for a hands-on learning journey. In the supermarket, students were able to apply the Chinese vocabulary and sentences they have learned, such as reading different labels, purchasing items and expressing their preferences, while interacting with staff and other customers. This learning experience not only deepened their understanding of Chinese but also helped them to build confidence in using the language for daily communication. Students have shared that the outing was very interesting and hope to have more opportunities like this to engage in practical learning experiences.

Thank you for the school's support, this NCS Student Summer Program was successfully completed, providing students with an unforgettable learning experience and at the same time experiencing the fun of learning Chinese in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The program enhanced students' Chinese language ability, laying a solid foundation for learning in the upcoming school year, and even ignited their interest in learning Chinese and cultural diversity. We look forward to seeing students apply the knowledge they have learned in this program in their future studies, continuing to grow and excel.
