We are very excited to announce that our Mandarin Resources for Schools (MARS) page is officially up and running!

About MARS

MARS, the abbreviation for Mandarin Resources for Schools, is a webpage developed by UCL IOE Confucius Institute for Schools. Having teachers, schools and the community at its heart, MARS aims to provide a single online platform of resources in order to support the development and growth of Mandarin as a school subject.

Types of Resources

This webpage contains a wide range resources, including worksheets, lesson presentations, multimedia, schemes of learning and more.

These selected high quality resources have been created by the UCL IOE Confucius Institute and by outstanding teaching practitioners who would like to share their longlasting experience and expertise with the whole community.

Easy Search Functionalities

In order to respond to schoolteachers’ busy work patterns, this webpage is also developed with functionalities which facilitate colleagues’ research. Colleagues can search resources by key words or by clicking varied categories such as language skill, GCSE-related topic, key stage, type of resource, etc.
