Trainer’s Profile :Mr. Choy Wui Kong, a subject matter specialist with vast experience, having been teaching Mandarin to adults and children for more than five years. Choy’s understanding of Mandarin is deep as he led the projects such as e-content development for Mandarin learning programme for kids, Mandarin communication programmes for adults, simulated mandarin lessons as well as mobile mandarin content.
Choy has designed and developed a blended learning approach called ‘Mandarin for Adults’, which is a classroom-based programme that uses visual auditory simulation to accelerate the idea of technology-facilitated education. This programme provides e-learning through a face-to-face teaching approach, which was well-received by a number of CEOs and industrial workers that were hoping to learn Mandarin as a second language. Using multimedia as a platform, Choy successfully incorporated spiral learning methods into online learning to reduce revision time, which in turn enhanced the outcome of the adult learners. The effectiveness of Choy’s method can be seen in the host of corporate and education-based clients he has worked with, which include CIMB, RHB bank and Wawasan Open University (WOU).
