Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning

ABOUT US

Silicon Valley Chinese School has been serving the south Bay Area in Chinese language and cultural learning since 1974.  In the past 48 years, we have been successfully focusing on the education of K to 12 students.  

As we see more adult learners demand from the communities, we will start offering Mandarin program for adults age 18 or above.  The first class will begin from September 2021.  With our deep experiences in teaching Chinese as second language, you can count on us as the best place of learning Chinese in the Silicon Valley.

The Silicon Valley Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning is a subsidiary of Silicon Valley Chinese School and was founded in fall 2021 for teaching Chinese as a second language for adults age 18 and above.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Classes at the Silicon Valley Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning are divided into 9 levels, from beginner’s level to advanced level.  International Competitiveness: English and Chinese + Digital Collaboration.

New students, excepts beginner I class students,  will take a placement test before school begins for us to assign them to the class that best suits their levels.  All classes are taught in Traditional Chinese/English and use Pinyin for pronunciation. We put emphasis on all four language skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing/typing.  

Students will not only develop their ability to listen, speak, read, write within the Mandarin language, but they will have an opportunity to learn beyond the text, enriching their understanding of Chinese culture and customs.
