OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM OF STUDIES
The program of studies is divided into two sections:
• Language Arts
- General Language Component
- Specific Language Component
• Culture
It is important that the sections be implemented in an integrated manner.
Language Arts
The Language Arts section of this program of studies reflects an integrated, interdependent
approach to language learning within a bilingual programming context. Chinese language
arts includes a General Language Component and a Specific Language Component.
The Specific Language Component provides the detailed linguistic elements ofthe Chinese
language, descriptors of language competence for each grade, and outcomes to support
sociocultural/sociolinguistic and strategic learning.
The Specific Language Component outlines the linguistic elements that students will need to
be able to use the Chinese language, while the General Language Component provides the
context and purpose for using the language, and outlines the knowledge, skills and attitudes
that students are to develop. The two components should be developed concurrently so
that the language being learned is the language that students will need and be able to apply.
Culture
The Culture section fosters the development of essential knowledge, skills and attitudes
related to self, Chinese language and cultures, the community and the world. "Chinese
cultures" refers to the cultures ofChinese-speaking peoples.
GENERAL OUTCOMES
General outcomes are broad statements that form the basis of this program of studies. Each
general outcome outlines the key learnings that each section ofthe program is designed to
support. The general outcomes describe the common goals that all students in the Chinese
Language Arts Kindergarten to Grade 9 learning sequence are expected to achieve.
Chinese bilingual programming is designed to promote all-round personal development by
fostering social, emotional, moral, intellectual and creative growth. To support this growth and
development, the Chinese Language Arts Kindergarten to Grade 9 program is built upon the
following seven general outcomes.
