A Unique Way to Learn Chinese
Mastering cultural nuances is a key driver of success in the global business landscape. Nowhere is this truer than in corporate communications, where fluently speaking in a regional language can markedly improve your chances of turning an opportunity into a success.
Since 2000, New Concept Mandarin has specialized in teaching senior business leaders from global giants like Nasdaq, Citibank and HSBC the Mandarin Chinese skills they need to excel in their roles.
Recognizing that most executives don’t have time for extensive language courses, it has pioneered customized crash courses that focus on practical, situation-specific language skills. From boardroom etiquette to client greetings, New Concept Mandarin’s tailored programs ensure business professionals can confidently navigate their interactions, backed by its innovative flipped learning approach.
Delivering Novel Learning Approaches
New Concept Mandarin’s flipped learning approach shifts traditional classroom instruction to a pre-class engagement model. Its comprehensive system includes custom textbooks, video lectures, online classes and proprietary mobile apps, giving students 24/7 access to learning materials.
Students prepare by reviewing course materials via mobile apps and interactive video lectures before class. This allows classroom time to focus on dynamic, practical applications such as role-playing, drills and interactive games.
The courses also address two common challenges—time constraints and retention. Flexible scheduling options that include evening and lunchtime classes guarantee that learning can accommodate even the busiest of schedules. At the same time, its mobile apps allow students to review lessons on the go, reinforcing materials between sessions.
"Our flipped learning approach emphasizes real-world use to accelerate speaking and listening skills, ensuring rapid progress in a supportive, engaging environment," says Fu Xianling, managing director.
New Concept Mandarin’s exceptional teaching style, using associations and metaphors instead of rote memorization, significantly improves the retention of Chinese characters and pronunciation.
A Comprehensive Corporate Chinese Training Solution
Known as the one-stop solution for corporate Chinese training, every engagement begins with an in-depth needs analysis to assess the language training requirements of each company. Based on this evaluation, New Concept Mandarin creates a tailored curriculum to meet client objectives and industry demands. Every staff member’s proficiency is also assessed to determine the right courses, each divided into three stages comprising nine levels of study. Beginning with the basics of the language at the Survival Level, students build on these skills in the intermediate Social Level before progressing to the advanced Professional Course.
With complete flexibility of scheduling and course content, the training is personalized to incorporate real-life scenarios, industry-specific terminology and documents from the client’s business environment. Throughout the coursework, New Concept Mandarin continually monitors quality through progress reporting. It also offers a post-course service that extends the learning experience with online tools for up to three months.
