Features
The idea of "Individualized Instruction (Ⅱ)" emphasizes not only the facilitation of learners to learn better by incorporating different ways to create various language learning experiences, but also how teachers can prepare and design their Chinese lessons better. By analyzing the needs and characteristics of learners, teachers design the most suitable teaching method for each individual, including design of scenarios, study tasks, and supplementary learning resources etc
