The Northeastern University World Language Center will host its first ever Chinese STARTALK program in the summer of 2021. 

This is a free, non-credit language and culture program for rising 9th-12th graders.  We will enroll 20 highly motivated students to go on a virtual trip to Taiwan. Students will learn how to navigate urban life in the modern and dynamic city of Taipei and see how Taiwan’s COVID-19 restrictions are impacting daily life. 

Program Highlights:

• Each student will receive a box of learning materials (a map, snacks, milk tea packs, etc.)
• Students will practice speaking Chinese with native speakers daily in small groups
• Students will interact with AI chatbots – programs that simulate human conversation

Information Session: Tuesday, April 13, 8:00-8:30 PM (EST)
