Single-Subject Design Activity: Mandarin Chinese

My article was the effect of a tutoring package to teach pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese. The article was interesting because I learned some information about the Chinese language. I have heard  in the past that Chinese is one of the hardest languages to learn. I enjoyed this activity because I have not read many single subject design articles, and  I am not used to the language that appeared in the article. The question sheet helped make sense of the article, and it was a good way to learn what the questions meant and what I was trying to look for. For example, I was unsure of what the specific single subject design was. In this case, the single subject was a male American college student who was enrolled in a 1st year Chinese class who demonstrated mastery of writing Chinese. I also enjoyed sharing the stories to each other and putting the articles in our own words. This also helped make sense of the article, and allowed us to learn other single subject designs.
