5-Step Teaching Model

At Spark Chinese, every lesson is carefully structured to follow the principles of the Ebbinghaus Curve. Through our 5-Step Teaching Model, your child will build a strong foundation of knowledge through active participation and learning.

5-Step Teaching Model

Engage: Spark curiosity with animations, fun facts, and realia.

Explore: Deepen understanding with guided examples and methods.

Explain: Review and reinforce learnt examples and methods.

Exercise: Consolidate key learning with in-class exercises.

Evaluate: Assess learning with animated summaries, Blackboard, and assignments.

6 Teaching Strategies

Instead of a spoon-feeding approach, we encourage our students to think creatively, be adaptable, and actively take charge of their learning through six proven teaching strategies.

Teaching through Goal Setting

Empower students to take ownership of their learning. Before class, students set their exploration objectives and explore the topic independently. In class, they actively discuss and share their progress, and refine their objectives based on newfound knowledge and extended materials. This fosters a systematic and comprehensive understanding of their learning.

Teaching through Comparison

Nurture students' comparative thinking skills by guiding them to identify similarities and differences between various concepts and objects.

Teaching through Exploration

Promote active learning, where students actively explore materials, engage in group discussions, and receive guidance to achieve their teacher-defined learning objectives.

Teaching through Topics

Engage students in active and meaningful discussions about everyday topics, fostering fluency and communication skills.

Teaching through Scenarios

Bring learning to life with relatable scenarios to help students connect emotionally and better understand the content.

Teaching through Case-Based Learning

Foster critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills through case-based learning. Students actively analyse examples and case studies in group discussions to consolidate their learning.
