Chinese Program and Curriculum Design
June 23 – 24, 2017
Penn State University Park campus
Presenter: Professor Jie Zhang (University of Oklahoma)

Chinese programs of different sizes will be examined according to their curriculum design, their course offering and sequencing, and their textbook selection. Using case studies, we will discuss: 1) ideas for how to recruit students; 2) how to build a successful Chinese program; and 3) how to expand or enrich a program. We will conclude with an open discussion on meeting students’ needs in becoming global citizens.

The Center for Global Studies at Penn State makes available 20 professional grants for teachers of Chinese, which cover the cost of registration. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please fill in an application form. Go to our CALPER Workshop site for details.

This is a CLTNet workshop for teachers of Chinese. It is co-sponsored by the Center for Global Studies at The Pennsylvania State University. 

You might also be interested in the workshop on “L1 Use in the Classroom”, “Teaching Social Meaning in Language”, and “L2 Vocabulary Teaching and Learning”. Those three workshops are not specifically designed for teachers of Chinese, but are of interest to all language educators. Descriptions and times are posted on the CALPER Workshop site.
