Abstract:
Due to COVID-19, the past two years have undoubtedly been transformational in education. Teaching methods in particular have had to adapt and to go through tremendous modification to accommodate such change. Effective use of differentiated learning in curriculum design has therefore become increasingly crucial in the design of International dual language teaching. Specifically emphasizing the increased utilization of technology to aid teaching and the continuation of dual language multicultural teaching, which incorporates global issues into the curriculum as important themes when teaching Chinese.
This workshop will introduce incorporating differentiation into learning in class, curriculum design, teaching strategies, and material selection, to help educators adapt to a constantly evolving era of teaching.
