Overview

2013 Summer Institute for Chinese Language Teachers is a seven-day extensive training program designed to meet all Chinese language educators’ needs in enhancing their knowledge about Chinese language and culture and improving their teaching capabilities. The trainers will make special presentations from their perspectives, sharing their understanding of TCSL/TCFL, hands-on experience, and teaching resources. We hope 2013 Summer Institute will help local schools in Northern California improve the quality of Chinese language teaching and prepare sufficient qualified teachers for today and tomorrow.
