Chinese Language Teachers’ Institute
Penn Graduate School of Education
University of Pennsylvania and Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic School
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June & July, 2002
The Institute began in the summer of 1998 as a response to the demands of Chinese language teachers in the Greater Philadelphia area. Its high quality and success attracted students nationwide in the following summers. The institute aims at providing prospective teachers of Chinese the pedagogical training necessary for obtaining foreign language teacher certification in their home states. In most states, the Institute courses meet partial requirements of teacher certification.
