Delaware's Lighthouse Chinese Partnership: A STARTALK Summer Program for Early Language Learners
The Cape Henlopen School District, in partnership with the University of Delaware, the Delaware Department of Education, and the Chinese School of Delaware, is pleased to present the First State's first Chinese language summer camp for early language learners. The Delaware Lighthouse Chinese Partnership will provide an innovative summer learning experience for 50 elementary school students (3rd through 5th grade) who have participated in the district's Lighthouse Chinese Program during the regular school year. This two-week immersion language camp will provide participants the opportunity to develop higher levels of Chinese language proficiency and gain deeper insights into perspectives of Chinese culture. The program's theme, Life at the Seashore, will capitalize on the local surroundings and will facilitate participants' connections for their language learning.
