| Title | Two Funding Opportunities for Schools Seeking Chinese Instructors |
| Body | Here are two different funding opportunities for bringing Chinese instructors to your school: The College Board’s Guest Teacher Program The Chinese Guest Teacher Program is designed to help U.S. schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs and to promote international exchange between the United States and China. Key benefits to U.S. schools and students include: * Host schools can start or expand a Chinese language and culture program at minimal cost. * Schools can lay a foundation for offering AP® Chinese classes in the future. * Students learn authentic Chinese language and interact with a native Chinese speaker. * Chinese guest teachers serve as cultural resources in other subject areas. The Program provides an experienced language teacher from China for the host school or district for a period of one to three years. This is your chance to build a Chinese program efficiently and affordably. The application deadline for this program is February 11, 2008. For more information about this program, go to http://professionals.collegeboard.com/k-12/awards/chinese/guest . --- U.S.-China Teachers Exchange Program The National Committee on United States-China Relations is now seeking applications for an exchange program for teachers in American and Chinese schools. This is an unusual opportunity for schools and districts wishing to begin or to strengthen Chinese language and culture programs and for teachers wishing to live and teach in China. The American teachers in China teach English as a foreign language. The Chinese teachers, all of whom teach English as a foreign language in China, may teach Chinese history, language, and culture, and/or English as a second language at participating American schools. The National Committee sponsors orientation programs in the United States and in China during the summer before the exchange year. For American teachers this covers “survival” Chinese, the teaching of English as a foreign language, and an introduction to China and its schools. The orientation session for Chinese teachers covers the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, instruction on American teaching methodology, and an introduction to the United States and its schools. Those interested in the exchange should send a letter to the Teachers Exchange Program, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, 71 West 23rd Street, Suite 1901, New York, NY 10010, for more information and an application package. The application deadline for the 2008-2009 school year will be February 29, 2008. |
