PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Howard County’s 2024 STARTALK Chinese Language Spring Program offers an 8-Saturday immersion program for current 4th-7th grade students interested in learning the language and the culture of China. The program will focus on the theme, “2024: Everyday Adventures in China,” where students will build their proficiency in the Chinese language through a virtual trip to China. The students will engage in the journey through a fun and interactive face-to-face learning environment.
The language instruction program will be complemented with cultural activities such as Chinese culture-themed arts and crafts, Martial Arts, virtual field trips, and cultural games. The focus for novice level students will be on speaking the language, while students at the intermediate level will also develop reading and writing skills.
ENROLLMENT: Enrollment for the Spring 2024 classes is on a first-come, first-served basis. The first 60 students in grades 4-7 whose parents/guardians complete the form will be placed in the program.
