Teach Chinese to children or adults with Maurice Hazan's amazing QTalk Method. You can use QTalk Blocks to teach Chinese classes using any Smartboard or other digital whiteboard, or a touch-screen monitor or tablet with a high speed Internet connection.

Storytelling with the QTalk Method

Use a series of scenes to tell a story.

If you are using TPRS or any kind of storytelling in your language classes, you are always looking for new ways to grab students' attention.

Combining food and friends offers a great many story situations that are fun and easy to understand without translating or explaining.

Jumping off from the basic story, you can ask questions, have students ask eachother questions, and for more advanced students ask them to retell the story in a different tense, or write the story in their own words to test their writing proficiency: composition, spelling and punctuation.

For even the beginning students you are able to introduce characters by name then ask, "What is her name? and her name?" then introduce the different foods to make sentences. "What is she eating?"

Lili eats pizza at home with Sophie.

If you can bring different foods to class, that provides a very enticing lesson - but it's not always realistic to do this. With the Sapling Book 1 Q-Card set we have a nice selection of food images on magnetic flashcards that can be arranged with the images for verbs such as "to eat" and "to bring" etc.

Want to try this technique with your students?
Check out our Online Flipbooks right now - you can use the samplers with your students and introduce our QTalk visual scaffolding to prompt them to speak and understand without translation.

Then if you'd like to get more story materials, we suggest our magnetic Story Card product, or try the Short Stories module which is part of  as part of our Digital Language System Conversation Suite (aka Conversation Pack DLS).

Maurice Hazan's QTalk Method - who can use it?

Unique, multi-modal visual tools for teaching language.

 For the past twenty-five years Maurice Hazan has been developing and improving on his visual teaching method.

Symtalk customers are now contacting us to ask how they can begin to migrate to QTalk.

Elementary Spanish and French teachers often tell colleagues about QTalk. We know the middle school and high school teachers are talking about us too.

"Julio drinks orange juice."

How do we know you are talking about QTalk? It's easy: we get a dozen phone calls or emails the day you mention us at a teacher workshop or faculty meeting. "I asked for tips on getting my students more engaged, more interested in learning Spanish, and someone mentioned QTalk," or "I saw my friend's son on his iPad playing Spanish practice games online and he said it was QTalk."

What is she thinking?

Often the teacher doesn't even know the name of the person who mentioned QTalk - so we don't even know how to contact you and say thank you. But believe us, the gratitude is enormous.

Unlike major publishers we don't have a big advertising budget. Our marketing department is YOU.

So how does QTalk work? Who can use it?

How does QTalk work?

The QTalk Method begins with the most simple of concepts: a picture is truly worth a thousand words. A QTalk Method teacher uses visual prompts - whether individual images, a sequence of images, a scene or a sequence of scenes - to engage students interactively - remaining in the target language 90% of the time. 

For more details, visit www.QTalkPublishing.com, but in a nutshell, that's what it's about. The students are speaking 90% of the time, and the teacher is NOT lecturing or explaining.

 The teacher is asking questions, directing attention, providing encouragement, and expressing joy and support whenever a student makes even the smallest attempt to express himself or herself in the target language. Corrections are provided in the form of echoing and sandwiching - you'll learn those techniques as part of the process.

As a teacher using the QTalk Method, you'll LOVE your classes when you see the students lighting up like stars, filled with confidence and pleasantly amazed at themselves.

Who can use QTalk?

Anyone. Our main customer base remains the K-8 Spanish and French language classes in private and public schools here in the United States.


Today, with an expanded set of original publications and online subscriptions along with Maurice Hazan's QTalk student printed books and online flipbooks, as well as magnetized flashcards, classroom games and many other manipulatives and innovative teaching tools, there is actually no  limit to the situations where QTalk can help you achieve success as a language teacher or tutor.

Middle schools, high schools and summer language camps are adopting QTalk for their Level 1 Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and ESL classes. Dozens of tutors are using QTalk Tree books and materials in small group or one on one instruction with college students and adults. An increasing number of homeschool families have adopted QTalk to make the home into a language lab - fun for the whole family!

What's next?

K-8 Spanish and French is where we began. Our Tribeca Language school in Lower Manhattan is teaching toddlers as young as two and seniors in their 80's and beyond. For the QTalk Publishing company, we remain focused on the K-12 schools in the United States, and we are expanding to offer tools for tutors and homeschool families, as well as online solutions for those who are teaching remotely. QTalk Publishing is a sole source provider. Even as we expand and extend the QTalk products and subscriptions, we remain committed to promoting world language education from PreK all the way through high school, for every student.
