We have opened AP Chinese classes for Tenafly Public Schools in New Jersey this summer and next school year of 2011 – 2012.
We are expanding our learning Chinese online program into European countries with an office in Denmark this coming September.
As China became the No. 2 economy in 2010, Non Asian population has shown significant interest in learning Chinese. The number of K-12 public school students in the United States learning a Chinese language rose to nearly 60,000 in 2008, from about 20,000 in 2005, according to a report from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. By now, Chinese has over taken Japanese, as the secondary language in US schools next only to Spanish, which has 6 million plus students.
There are many ways a school can add Chinese classes into their offerings. After school Chinese program is one, hiring a Chinese teacher is another. With the ongoing budget crisis for all school districts, adding online Chinese classes at a fraction of the cost of hiring new teachers become extremely attractive. Under current economic circumstances, being able to offering students the skill and knowledge they need while stretching the dollars on hand, requires school administrators to think creatively and make wise decisions.
Learning Chinese Online has been tested, and it offers the quality education, the convenience of scheduling, the cost saving, the interesting content via multimedia, and the excitement of having a native Chinese teacher reside in China.
