Click "Add Star" in the upper right corner of the backend so you won't miss my push.

In the early years when I started teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I was always worried about finding Chinese teaching resources:

If you want to talk about picture books, there are very few books with moderate language difficulty;

If you want to teach children’s songs, there are only a limited number of songs that are easy to listen to and remember;

I want to take students to watch animations, but the videos with interesting and understandable content are limited…

However, with the development of online media in recent years, teaching Chinese as a foreign language is no longer the predicament that it once was.

The Fox website that Mr. He wants to recommend to you today is a great one-stop Chinese learning platform. It has a large number of resources, high-quality and practical content, and the key point is-finished! Complete! waived! fee!

Let me first summarize the highlights of Fox:

Let’s take a look at what treasure resources Fox has!

Graded animated stories

Animated stories are the core content of Fox. All animations are divided into 5 levels according to language difficulty.

There are currently more than 40 story albums, each containing dozens of episodes of short stories.

Faced with massive story resources and don’t know where to start? It will be much easier to choose after reading Teacher He’s review:

"Single stories" are relatively short, about 2 minutes in length, and cover a variety of common Chinese teaching topics. They are very suitable for use as graded reading materials.

I usually select some short stories from them to do extended reading exercises for thematic teaching, or assign online reading assignments.

The content of "Series Stories" is also divided into 5 levels, with a duration of 1-8 minutes (increasing with the level). The content is similar to a chapter book, and the storyline is vivid and interesting, more systematic and continuous.

If you still find it difficult to choose, you can refer to Teacher He’s recommendations below:

Teacher Kelly's class

The content is very close to the Chinese courses from scratch. If you haven’t found a suitable teaching material yet, you can consider using it.

who am + where am I

These two series are great for teaching Careers, Place and Community topics.

magic pen

The content is also very close to elementary-level Chinese textbooks and can be used as expansion materials in addition to textbooks.

Get to know animals

A great non-fiction reading resource that helps students learn about various animals from a real perspective.

Sunshine School + Carter Family

It tells interesting things that happened on campus and at home. It is very down-to-earth and close to the daily life of students.

Fun Children's Center

Interesting interdisciplinary animation, integrating nature, crafts, baking, science and other content.

journey to the west

It is completely different from those versions that have been broadcast in China. From the cartoon images to the story language, this "Journey to the West" is specially designed according to the cognitive characteristics of overseas children. It is a film that can truly be understood by foreign children. "Journey to the West".

Rocket Girl's Journey to the West

The dreamy linkage between the characters of "Rocket Girl" and "Journey to the West" has only been updated for three episodes so far. Looking forward to it…

Pinyin teaching video

The Pinyin series videos are all introduced in English, which is very suitable for beginners who are native English speakers.

Supporting practice resources

The Fox website not only allows you to watch cartoons, but also has a series of supporting resources that can be used as teaching aids.

The pinyin subtitle function of He is very considerate, allowing students to switch between "pinyin" and "non-pinyin" modes for reading aloud or independent reading practice.

In addition, there are several icons next to the video of each episode of the animated story. Click on them to obtain quizzes, glossaries, text/translation, audio, e-books and game resources related to the story content.

Quiz

Beginning stories usually come with some listening tests, such as choosing the correct picture based on what you hear.

Advanced tests can provide an in-depth examination of students' reading comprehension abilities.

Glossary

Each episode of the story has a corresponding vocabulary list, which includes pronunciation, Chinese characters, pinyin, pictures, English definitions, example sentences, etc.

This glossary is very smart and can display different content according to the user's checkboxes. It can also print and download PDF documents directly online.

text/translation

The system will also automatically generate the text in the animation, and you can also print and save PDF documents online. There are also two different versions: "phonetic notation" and "phonetic notation plus translation".

Audio

The audio of each animation episode can be saved directly as an MP3 file.

e-book

The content in the animation can also be printed or saved as a PDF e-book with one click, and the folding problem after printing is also taken into consideration and made into a front and back form.

animated children's songs

The children's song resources in Fox are also very rich, educational and entertaining, and are very popular among students.

The Basic Songs album includes "Hello Song", "Goodbye Song", "Number Song" and other daily children's songs, which are very suitable for warm-up before class.

Sing-Some of the children's songs in the album are suitable for theme teaching, such as "What's your name?" ""how is the weather? "Color Song".

The other part is adapted versions of familiar English children's songs, such as "London Bridge is Collapsed", "Rain, Rain, Go Away" and "Five Little Monkeys".

Most of the children's songs in the album were created based on the needs of Chinese teaching and cover many common vocabulary and sentence patterns.

The two albums Mrs. Kelly's Songs and Magic Songs correspond to the "Teacher Kelly's Class" and "Magic Pen" animation series introduced earlier.

In particular, I would like to recommend a set of Pinyin nursery rhymes to everyone, which can help children master the initial consonants, finals, and tones of Chinese Pinyin.

You will also see the following three icons next to all children's song videos. You can download MP3 audio files of children's songs for free, and you can also download and print the word list and lyrics of each song.

Online vocabulary game

There are three vocabulary games in the game area: Star Words, Games (matching games), and Games (memory games).

Each game is divided into "English-Pinyin", "English-Chinese characters", "Pinyin-Chinese characters", "Pictures-Pinyin", "Pictures-Chinese characters" and other forms, which can be selected according to the students' language level.

When you click on each game, there are five different language levels from Level 1 to Level 5, which can meet the needs of differentiated teaching.

interstellar words

This game is in the form of multiple-choice questions. Students need to choose the corresponding content based on the words that appear.

After answering the questions, in addition to seeing the score, you can also review the questions you answered incorrectly.

This game is also based on points, and students can see their ranking among global users.

matching game

Students are required to find the Chinese characters that match the content of the picture among the words that appear. Only when all matches are correct can the 16-square puzzle be completed.

memory game

Students have to remember the words in each grid during the countdown and card flipping process, which tests their observation skills and memory.

Only by clicking two cards with the same meaning at the same time can they remain face up. The game will not end until all cards are turned face up.

These word games are very interesting, but one disadvantage is that the content is fixed and there is no way for teachers to edit the teaching content they need online.

I prefer to use it as an ICT group activity during teaching time.
