Title: Delaware STARTALK Chinese Teacher Program
Body: From http://www.doe.k12.de.us/infosuites/staff/ci/content_areas/startalk_teachers.shtml The Delaware Chinese Immersion STARTALK Program for Teachers is designed to support Chinese language teachers and strengthen their ability to effectively provide input and check for comprehension in a target-language only classroom. This program will provide participants with a standards-based and feedback-rich learning experience through a combination of methods workshops, practicum experiences, and instructional coaching and feedback sessions over the course of sixteen days. The program will involve participants in three days of pre-camp orientation and professional development followed by a two-week instructional practicum as teachers in a Kindergarten student camp centered around the theme of Mulan. Program Instructors including Dr. Helena Curtain, Lynn Fulton-Archer, and Dr. Xiao Liu will provide an intensive methodology experience that focuses primarily on making input comprehensible and conducting checks for comprehension for early language learners. Prior to and during the student camp, participants will develop materials for and teach lessons focusing on high-frequency, novice-level topics including introducing self and family members, comparing student families to the family of Mulan, stating likes and dislikes about activities, and comparing student interests to Mulan’s interests. Preservice, in-service and alternative-route teacher candidates will implement best practices in instruction and learn to effectively provide input and check for comprehension in an early language learning classroom setting during this residential program. Program dates: July 18-August 2 Teacher Pre-camp Orientation: July 18-20 Student Camp / Practicum: July 22-August 2 (weekdays only) Program location: Newark, DE Orientation and Friday work sessions held at local conference center Student Camp held at Downes Elementary School Housing: Provided (check-in July 17, check out August 2) Program Cost: None Travel allowance available to participants upon successful completion of the full program Application Documents: DEADLINE MAY 30, 2013 For more details go to http://www.doe.k12.de.us/infosuites/staff/ci/content_areas/startalk_teachers.shtml

Title: China, U.S. Defense Department Fund Chinese-language Education in Washington
Body: From http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2013/04/26/china-dod-both-fund-chinese-language.html China, U.S. Defense Department fund Chinese-language education in Washington by Steve Wilhelm April 26, 2013 The Chinese government and the U.S. Department of Defense, often far apart, are in a sense collaborating on one project: teaching Washington state K-12 students how to speak Mandarin Chinese. Two key programs funding Chinese language study in Washington public schools are the StarTalk program, under the Department of Defense’s National Security Language Initiative, and the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington, primarily funded by the Office of the Chinese Language Council International, in Beijing. Washington is the only state that has a statewide Confucius Institute working with public schools, said Michele Anciaux Aoki, who supervises world language education for the Washington state Superintendent of Schools office.
