The 2023 STARTALK-CFAP
Chinese Summer Learning Program
Supported by the Chinese Friendship Association of Portland (CFAP) and collaborated with the Chinese Language Teachers Association in Oregon (CLTA-OR), STARTALK-CFAP Chinese Language Student Program provides a 4-week in-person summer camp for 60 students, grades from of K to 8. Students are divided into 4 learning groups based on their Chinese proficiency levels at the entry to the program. Each day is six hour long, with topics of language and culture in the morning and arts and dance in the afternoon. The curriculum design is to combine language learning and cultural knowledge and integrates cultural learning into every activity and sets up a platform for students to "understand", "experience" and "practice" the Chinese culture. The theme of our program is “Stories of the Chinese Idioms (中国成语故事).” Teachers developed student readers appropriate for language levels of students. Students told idiom stories in Chinese in a variety of ways to the class and to their families. Each class developed a drama based on their favorite Chinese idiom as a play. All students had opportunities to perform the drama for their families and the Chinese community at the end of the camp.

由波特兰中国联谊会（CFAP）支持，并与俄勒冈州中国语言教师协会（CLTA-OR）合作，STARTALK-CFAP中文夏令营项目为60名K至8年级学生提供为期4周的夏令营。学生根据入营时的中文水平分成4个学习小组。每天六小时，上午学习语言和文化，下午学习艺术和舞蹈。课程设计旨在将语言学习与文化知识相结合，将文化学习融入到每个活动中，并为学生建立一个 “了解”、“体验”和“实践”中国文化的平台。我们项目的主题是“中国成语故事”。老师们开发了适合学生语言水平的学生读本。学生用各种方式向班级和家人讲述成语故事。每个班级都根据他们最喜欢的中国成语故事编写一个剧本。所有学生都有机会在营地结束时为他们的家人和中国社区表演这些话剧。
