Course Syllabus
Welcome to Chinese at CHS Fall 2016!
This is a great time to be studying Mandarin Chinese, the most widely spoken language in the world and one of the fastest growing foreign languages of study in the United States. The goal of our program is to help students build a solid foundation for communicative and cultural competence in Mandarin Chinese. Throughout the semester, students will build proficiency in all four language domains: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The curriculum will focus on thematic units covering topics relevant to students’ daily lives with project- and performance-based learning opportunities. The fascinating Chinese culture will be integrated throughout.

About Me: I have been interested in China since I was in elementary school, and my bachelor’s degree is in Social Science with emphases in geography and Asian studies. I began studying the Chinese language while teaching English to college freshmen in Taiwan, and I continued my language studies with graduate coursework in Chinese language, history and culture at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I also served as a Chinese teaching assistant at UCSB for close to three years. More recently, I stayed home to focus on raising my son and then pursued a Master's degree in teaching English as a Second Language and North Carolina teacher certification in both ESL and Chinese K-12. I am married with one son going into 10th grade this year.
