***********************************

Crane House is very excited and pleased to open a weekly follow-up program for Startalk students from September 28 through November 30, 2008.   The aim of the program is to help students review and apply what they learned during the Crane House three-week intensive Chinese Language Institute in July, 2008 to their daily lives while furthering their knowledge of Chinese language and culture.  These goals will allow students to apply their knowledge into real world settings.

The follow-up program runs for one hour each Sunday for 10 weeks plus two sessions of discussion with guest speakers at Crane House. The course consists of 2 levels, with 2 classes per level: novice-low and novice-mid. As with the summer STARTALK program, there is no fee for attending this program.   Interested Startalk students please contact Dr. Helen Pan, Startalk Program Director at startalk@insightbb.com or (502)228-8246/ (502)635-2240.

Jump Start is a StarTalk national language project. Administered by the National Foreign Language Center, University of Maryland, in conjunction with the Federal Initiative for Critical Need Languages, and in partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools, University of Louisville Chinese Studies, and Crane House, in Louisville Kentucky.
