This presentation demonstrates how the introduction of Chinese songs, comics and TV changed the perceptions and attitudes of a group of undeserved, linguistic and culturally diverse students towards the learning of Chinese.

This path is pleasant, produces consistently positive results, turns students into independent, lifelong acquirers of Chinese and provides students opportunity to become citizens of the world.
