Summer institute: Penn Summer Chinese Institute

[sm167]

The Penn (University of Pennsylvania) Chinese Teachers Summer
Institute will be hold its fourth annual program in June and July
of this year. Beginning as a response to the demands of Chinese
language teachers in the greater Philadelphia area, its high quality
and success has since attracted students nationwide. The Institute
aims at providing native speakers of Chinese with the pedagogical
training necessary for obtaining foreign language teacher certification
in their home states. In most states, the Institute courses meet partial
requirements for teacher certification.

Three separate week-long (five day) courses will be offered this summer;
successful completion of a course earns one EDCE (Graduate School of
Education) continuing education credit per course, with one EDCE credit
being equivalent to three credit units from most other universities
or colleges.

        Course 1: Selected Topics in the Teaching of Chinese
                  Language and Culture -- 6/25-29
        Course 2: Second Language Acquisition -- 7/5-9
        Course 3: Chinese Applied Linguistics -- 7/11-15

The tuition for each course is $950 on or before May 31, or $1000 after
that deadline.
