2010 STARTALK Chinese Language Summer Camp

The University of New Hampshire's 2010 STARTALK Chinese Language Summer Camp was a four-week non-residential program sponsored by the Department of Literatures, Languages, and Cultures. Native-born Chinese teachers with experience teaching at the elementary and university levels taught 40 students in grades 5-12 who had minimum or no Chinese language preparation. Students developed basic Mandarin Chinese language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) with a focus on every day communication skills. In addition to intensive language lessons, students participated in daily cultural activities that reinforced language learning and a greater appreciation of Chinese culture.
