Chinese teacher spending year in Hopkinton

Pan Jiling is taking a break from teaching English in a Chinese high school with 3,000 students to help jump-start a new Chinese language program in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, thanks to the district winning one of just 15 Teachers of Critical Lanagues Program (TCLP) grants awarded nationally.

"We're very fortunate that she is assigned to our school," Assistant Superintendent Mary Colombo said.

Grant offers Berkeley High School students opportunity to learn Mandarin Chinese

When Berkeley High School students in Moncks Corner, South Carolina arrive for the first day of classes today, dozens of them will have the opportunity to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese. The school was awarded a grant from the American Councils for International Education's Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) to bring in a teacher from China for a year, said Berkeley High Principal Kim McLaren. Ru Yi, Berkeley's Chinese teacher, is excited not only about teaching students to speak her language, but also about helping them learn about her culture.
