Welcome
Mission
The mission of the C-Corps, Jr. program is to build greater mutual
understanding of the cultures of the United States and China among
the American and Chinese participants in the high school community.
With China headed toward becoming one of the world's largest ecnonomies
during this century, the teaching of the Mandarin Chinese language
is suddenly growing in American schools. Currently, there are nearly
800 pre-collegiate schools wiht Chinese language programs. This
C-corps Jr. program expects the exchange student to share in the
learning of Chinese and Chinese culture with their peers and in
turn receive help from the American students with the English language
work. Because of this program’s goals, participants will be
able to contribute to the host school by being a lively and engaged
“student cultural ambassador.”
Participants
in our program will:
- Contributing
to enhance of the host schools’ Chinese language program
- Sharing
contemporary Chinese language and culture, thereby enhancing his
or her American peer' efforts to learn about China
- Understanding
of American culture and its educational system will be improved
through his/her unique role as a cultural bridge
