| Abstract |
Immersion Chinese Program has been developing in Utah for many years. Every year, more and more students choose this program to learn Chinese. While learning for many years, due to various reasons, students show completely different learning characteristics. Of course, their learning outcomes are also very different. In the upper grades of elementary school, the Chinese proficiency of the students in the same class even show great differences. In order to better help each student obtain a successful learning experience, teachers should adopt effective teaching methods to help individual students at different proficiency levels. Differentiated instruction is one of the effective measures. Records indicate that Chinese immersion teachers in Utah receive little training in differentiated teaching. To explore how to effectively differentiate instruction in a Chinese immersion classroom, I developed a normal level fifth grade curriculum using the fifth-grade Chinese textbook designated by the Utah State Board of Education, and on top of that developed two additional differentiated curriculums for students who struggle and students with high proficiency in my class. With the help of several other Chinese teachers at different grades, they have been modified to better meet the needs of all students. |
