Group Heads to China to Work With Students
EDMOND, OK (January 16, 2006) - Several individuals from Edmond, Oklahoma, and
Chicago left late last week to work with an educational and cultural
exchange program in Beijing, China.
The trip – part of a project called "Beijing 2006" – will conclude on
January 24. Approximately 20 first-year students from a school located
in a remote area of the country will travel to the capital city for an
excursion with the American volunteers.
A key goal of the trip is to provide an opportunity for a language
immersion experience for the Chinese students, with the Americans
speaking English throughout the trip to help the Chinese students
develop their English-speaking skills.
