Developed by Singapore Centre for Chinese Language, the "Teaching Chinese Idioms with Animation" teaching toolkit is designed for use by Primary 3 to 6 Chinese language teachers when teaching Chinese idioms. They may use the toolkit as a teaching aid or school-based teaching material.

Comprising 13 lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations as well as the respective network link addresses for the 48 animations specially created by Lu Feng Technology, the toolkit caters for the learning needs of primary school students in Singapore. Students would be able to master 48 idioms while watching the animations, with their interest in Chinese thus stimulated.

Each of the 13 lesson plans comes in two versions, catering to pupils of different levels of proficiency. The lesson plans demonstrate 13 different strategies to teach Chinese idioms. Appended to each lesson plan is a short essay, explaining the educational theory behind the strategy adopted. These strategies are effective not only for the teaching of Chinese idioms, but are also useful for the teaching of Chinese vocabulary in general. This toolkit is therefore beneficial to both students and teachers.

Developed by Singapore Centre for Chinese Language, the "Elementary Writing" teaching toolkit is designed for use in lower Primary Chinese language lessons. As the product of a collaborative school-based research project by SCCL and the Bukit Timah Primary School, this toolkit exemplifies the innovative concept of "Research-Validation-Training" advocated by SCCL.

The toolkit comprises ten lesson plans and related student activity sheets. The lesson plans will be a handy guide for primary school Chinese language teachers when teaching writing. The student activity sheets are fully illustrated with interesting cartoons which will certainly attract the students. The toolkit provides a systematic approach to the teaching of elementary writing. Students will learn basic writing skills in stages, beginning with sentence writing and moving onto paragraph writing. The first five lessons introduce some basic sentence patterns used in narration while the remaining lessons help students grasp the essential elements and basic structure of the narrative. It is a most useful toolkit for lower primary Chinese language teachers.
