K-12 Outreach Initiatives

The BYU Chinese Flagship Center is involved in various K-12 Outreach initiatives designed to create a pipelines for Early and Advanced Flagship Programs. These initiatives include the STARTALK High School Program, which provides an intense language summer camp for high school students. Another initiative is the E-Chinese (formally EDNET) project develops distance-based instructional materials for selected Utah high schools. The Flagship Center is collaborating with the BYU Independent Studies Office on a second generation of E-Chinese that would serve Utah high schools and beyond. More recently, the Center has supported the "Step by Step" Immersion Project, which designs Chinese literacy materials designed for use specifically in K-6 Chinese Immersion programs, but also for elementary school foreign language education programs generally.

 

The BYU Chinese Flagship Center:

  • Sponsors a STARTALK Summer Camp Program for high school students.
  • Partners with local high schools to provide distance learning opportunities.
  • Works with BYU Independent study toward a integrated web-based Mandarin Course for high school.
