Driven by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, every section of society has focused on this serious problem. Education is one important sphere of society that has also been affected, so this article explores how to develop and propose an appropriate approach to Chinese teaching especially the immersive Chinese learning platform of LingoAce for young children. Online education mode is developing rapidly, and overseas Chinese teaching faces new opportunities and challenges. This article showed that an effective approach teaches how to engage with collaborative study, teaching units that consist of main skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This highlights how effective immersive Chinese teaching must be employed flexibly and targeted in studying. With hope, some teaching methods and enlightenment can be brought to online immersive Chinese teaching for young children in the future.
