Chinese Students Make Connections

The Chinese III class held a zoom meeting with some high school students and their teacher from Shanxi Experimental High School today. Students exchanged questions and answers in both Chinese and English and talked about some of their favorite sports, musicians, favorite academic courses. They have really enjoyed their experience and some wanted to meet with their new acquaintances again. The hope is for students to see language use in action and feel more motivated to learn the language, as well as about another culture. Both groups have been surprised that they know some musicians and songs from both cultures; sports personals too, of course.
