In summer of 2013, the NYU STARTALK Immersion Training Program for Teachers of Chinese (1-6) for pre- and in-service teachers of Chinese welcomed 38 teachers to NYU for training leading to certification in Teaching Chinese (grades 1-6). The teachers participated in the graduate level summer course “Teaching Foreign Language to Elementary School Children” (FLES), which leads to NYS state certification extension in foreign language to grades 1-6. Follow-up training sessions will concentrate on immersion education.

A series of pattern stories based on culturally important stories from the Chinese-speaking world were developed by participants in the StarTalk project. The stories were professionally illustrated (by renowned illustrator Denis Bellocq), narrated, and published in iBook format using Book Creator software.

Eight stories developed during the 2013 StarTalk program are available here. The pdf version can be downloaded and printed; the narrated iBook version can be downloaded and opened in iBook on an iPad or compatible device.
