Need for Chinese language teachers growing, IU responding

 

The third annual Chinese Pedagogy Institute concludes this week on the Indiana University campus after two and a half weeks of intensive work to prepare more teachers of the Chinese language. The institute is a project of the Center for Chinese Language Pedagogy (CCLP) within the College of Arts and Sciences. The study is worth four to five graduate credits through the IU School of Education and counts toward requirements for secondary teacher certification in Chinese.

 

Twenty teachers holed up in shared living quarters for a week at Bradford Woods, the IU School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation's outdoor center just north of Martinsville, then came to the IU Bloomington campus. The participants came from Indiana and states as far away as Florida, for the intensive coursework. It covers either beginning or advanced language teaching based upon participants' skill levels, then a field experience that involves actually teaching language to students in Bloomington.
