Chinese
Studies

At Anfield School, our Chinese Studies curriculum is designed to accommodate our students’ diverse language backgrounds. We teach Mandarin using traditional Chinese characters, focusing on speaking, listening, reading, writing, and cultural understanding. We employ a range of teaching methods tailored to individual learning needs.

Learning focus

We utilise a progressive teaching system and an interdisciplinary integration approach, actively cultivating children’s cultural literacy. Emphasising experiential learning, we provide opportunities for students to engage in real-life cultural experiences. Each year, students enhance their exploration and critical thinking skills through practical activities, including:

• Chinese New Year’s Assembly
• Lantern Festival Performance
• Field trips
• Chinese Battle of the Books Competition
• Mandarin Speech Competitions (internal and external)
• Calligraphy Competition

Our Chinese Studies Curriculum is continually updated to reflect current educational trends. We integrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals throughout the curriculum and use innovative teaching approaches such as Mantle of the Expert and Kagan Cooperative Learning. These methods make learning enjoyable, build confidence, broaden students’ international perspectives, and deepen their understanding of the world. Just as children progress through phonics from Kindergarten to Primary, their mastery of Chinese characters and pinyin develops systematically within our Chinese Studies writing curriculum. Students learn to recognise, read, and write both characters and pinyin, with expectations increasing appropriately as they move through each year group. This structured progression further strengthens their Mandarin linguistic skills and supports long term fluency.

Our Chinese Studies teachers are highly professional and deeply committed to each child’s holistic development. Alongside strong academic outcomes, they nurture students’ emotional and spiritual growth. Mindfulness and meditation activities are a much‑loved part of our Chinese Studies classrooms, helping children develop calmness, focus, and self‑awareness.

At Anfield, Mandarin is more than a communication tool; it is a powerful medium for expressing ideas, building cultural understanding, and connecting with the wider world. It serves as a bridge to the future, empowering students to think confidently, communicate meaningfully, and engage with an increasingly global community.
