Title: Chinese Courses for High School Students
Body: From http://www.languageinstitute.wisc.edu/content/projects/highschool_Chinese/highschool_Chinese.html To help meet the increased demand for instruction in Mandarin, the dialect used by the government of the People's Republic of China and more than 70% of the country's people, the University of Wisconsin Language Institute has developed an introductory, 2-year sequence of multimedia, online Mandarin Chinese courses for high school students, for hybrid (teacher-guided/online) delivery. The Language Institute seeks Wisconsin high school partners interested in using these materials to offer introductory Mandarin Chinese to students in their high schools beginning in the 2012-13 academic year. The courses are designed to allow for flexible delivery options that would enable the sharing of instructional costs across schools or districts.
