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.
