TitleMyChina Village Virtual Chinese Immersion Camp 2009
Body
From http://casls.uoregon.edu/mychina.php

CASLS and partners Centric and Avant Assessment created MyChina Village to encourage students to be self-directed learners in an environment that doesn't feel like a classroom at all. MyChina Village, a virtual world in Second Life, provides a structured learning environment while capitalizing on the benefits of traditional study abroad. MyChina Village increases students' proficiency by allowing them to interact naturally with Chinese speakers.

The MyChina Village Virtual Chinese Immersion Camp will provide students with opportunities to immerse themselves in the Chinese culture, interact with native speakers, meet others studying Chinese, and practice the language.
