This is an inaugural event that brings to The Ohio State University a group of 45 Chinese language learners from high schools in Greater Columbus and elsewhere in the Buckeye State to experience a snippet of Chinese language and culture offered by OSU's Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (DEALL).
High school students will learn from Mr. Steven Knicely, our veteran instructor who oversees the daily operations of DEALL's Chinese language program, how DEALL's Chinese language classes are conducted and to see them in actcion. They will also attend a mini-lecture by DEALL chair, Professor Mark Bender, on Chinese culture. This inaugural event's mini-lecture is entitled, "Butterfly Mother and other Creation Epics from SW China."
The day closes with a casual lunch where the high school students and their chaperones (teachers and parents) will have an opportunity to sit and talk over lunch with some of China faculty members, graduate students who teach Chinese in our program, and undergraduate students who are studying Chinese at Ohio State.
