Digest EDO-FL-97-10 See other ERIC Digests on heritage languages Chinese Heritage Community Language Schools in the United States Theresa Hsu Chao, Founder, National Council of Associations of Chinese Language Schools This digest is drawn from A View from Within: A Case Study of Chinese Heritage Community Language Schools in the United States (Xueying Wang, Ed.), published by the National Foreign Language Center, 1619 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036. (202)667-8100. Chinese heritage community language schools (referred to here as Chinese language schools) are an integral part of the Chinese community in cities across the United States. According to a recent study by the National Council of Associations of Chinese Language Schools, approximately 82,675 students are taking Chinese in 634 language schools across the country. Following the political turmoil in Asia after World War II and the relaxation of immigration regulations in 1965, the United States experienced a new influx of well-educated immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong. These immigrants and their families became permanent residents or naturalized citizens of the United States. Motivated by a strong desire to preserve their Chinese heritage and promote the ethnic identity of their children, these Chinese immigrants established family-oriented schools in which they taught their own youngsters. The Status of Chinese Language Schools There exist both for-profit and nonprofit Chinese language schools. For-profit schools include mostly kindergartens, child care centers, and tutorial programs for secondary school students. Nonprofit Chinese language schools consist of those operated entirely by volunteers and those run by voluntary administrators and board members with the assistance of a small, partially compensated teaching staff. Nonprofit Chinese language schools are usually affiliated with nonprofit organizations such as Chinese-American associations or religious organizations.

Each school is administered by a dean and staff, usually including an associate dean who develops and oversees the implementation of the school's policies relating to graduate education. Deans of schools are responsible, both academically and administratively, to the Provost. The Schools of Earth Sciences, Engineering, Humanities and Sciences, and Medicine are organized into departments and programs, the chairs of which are responsible to their respective deans. The Graduate School of Business, the School of Education, and the School of Law are monolithic in structure. For information about the programs offered by each of the schools, consult the current issue of the Stanford Bulletin or the bulletins of the Schools of Law, Business, or Medicine. Some of Stanford's most distinguished research programs are based in centers and laboratories that do not offer degree programs themselves and are independent from schools. However, many Stanford faculty members are affiliated with them, and advanced graduate students sometimes have an opportunity to participate in their research programs or make use of their facilities. Consult your faculty adviser about the possibilities. Stanford's independent centers and laboratories are:

These delays and disorders range from simple sound substitutions to the inability to understand or use language or use the oral-motor mechanism for functional speech and feeding. Some causes of speech and language disorders include hearing loss, neurological disorders, brain injury, mental retardation, drug abuse, physical impairments such as cleft lip or palate, and vocal abuse or misuse.

Advertise Common Qualifications for ESOL Teachers General prerequisites Introductory programs Master's degree Endorsement or add-on certification in ESL ... Distance learning options General Prerequisites A bachelor of arts (BA) or science (BS) degree is usually a prerequisite for any of the programs listed below. In most countries, it is impossible to obtain a work permit for an ESL/EFL teaching position without a BA/BS degree. Just as there are numerous methodologies in language teaching, there are also a wide range of options to launch your education in TESOL. To help you explore these options, TESOL's Directory of Teacher Education Programs 2002-2004 lists institutions in Canada, Mexico, and the United States that offer teacher training programs (certificates, BAs, MAs, and PhDs) in TESOL. Indices from the Directory are also available online. Introductory Programs Many institutions have created programs that fall in between the TEFL certificate and TESOL endorsement or add-on certification. These programs may take one to two semesters and are designed to provide initial teacher training for overseas teaching assignments. The credits from these shorter programs may be applied toward an endorsement or master's degree upon return to the United States. Master's Degree The most widely available training option in the United States and Canada, the master's degree is required for teaching in higher education and community colleges. Offered by more than 300 universities in the United States and Canada, the degree may go by different names, for example, master of education (MEd) in TESOL, master of arts (MA) or science (MS) in applied linguistics, MA in English with an emphasis in TESOL, MA in teaching (MAT) in ESL. Any of these programs will prepare those enrolled to teach ESL/EFL as well as offer training in curriculum development, teacher training, administration, and materials writing. Master's degrees usually require 30-36 hours of credit and may include a thesis option. A quality program will include some supervised teaching practice.

At some of our Spanish language schools, specialized programs are available for doctors, nurses, lawyers, business people, MBA's, etc. In the classroom, teaching techniques will focus on the communicative approach to learning Spanish. From day one you will begin working on improving your conversational skills. Generally speaking, the process for novices begins by covering basic topics such as who you are, where do you live, etc. As students become more proficient in Spanish, topics may range from economics to politics. As you explore new topics, you will find yourself quickly learning new vocabulary and grammar, and how to effectively use them. In a very short period of time you will find that you will be able to effectively communicate in Spanish!

Ideally, you will leave for Japan after gaining admission to an institute of higher learning. However, the general case of studying in Japan begins with a student first enrolling in a Japanese language-institute. The student will study Japanese and other subjects for one to two years and then take a university entrance examination before enrolling in a university. Therefore, the choice of a good Japanese-language institute becomes extremely important for students wishing to enter Japanese university undergraduate or graduate courses in the future.

ACCESS ERIC 2277 Research Blvd. MS 6M Rockville, MD 20850 800 LET-ERIC accesseric@ accesseric.org Parent Brochure Why, How, and When Should My Child Learn a Second Language? Much media attention has recently been focused on the importance of early learning experiences on brain development. Newsweek devoted a special edition to the critical first 3 years of a child's life and indicated that there is a "window of opportunity" for second language learning starting at 1 year of age. A February 1997 article in Time magazine suggested that foreign languages should be taught to children as early as possible. With so many demands already placed on children, parents might ask: Is it important that my child learns a second language at a young age? Why? What options are available? What Are the Benefits of Knowing a Second Language? In addition to developing a lifelong ability to communicate with more people, children may derive other benefits from early language instruction, including improved overall school performance and superior problem-solving skills. Knowing a second language ultimately provides a competitive advantage in the workforce by opening up additional job opportunities. Students of foreign languages score statistically higher on standardized tests conducted in English. In its 1992 report, College Bound Seniors: The 1992 Profile of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, the College Entrance Examination Board reported that students who averaged 4 or more years of foreign language study scored higher on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than those who had studied 4 or more years in any other subject area. In addition, the average mathematics score for individuals who had taken 4 or more years of foreign language study was identical to the average score of those who had studied 4 years of mathematics. These findings are consistent with College Board profiles for previous years.
