Institute Description

The Institute began in the summer of 1998 as a response to 
the demands of prospective Chinese language teachers. The 
institute aims at providing prospective teachers 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 of 
teacher certification. All courses meet intensively for one 
week, supported by continuing online interactions throughout 
the summer and the subsequent academic year.
