About Flushing and the program:
Flushing, located in Queens, New York, boasts one of the largest Chinese communities outside of China. The Flushing provides learners with authentic opportunities to practice their language and cultural skills, apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and become more comfortable with life in a Chinese environment.
CSC language and culture experts will guide students through real-life scenarios and cultural experiences that will ultimately leave learners with greater confidence in their language ability and deeper, practical understanding of Chinese culture and society.
Participants will interact in Chinese with native speakers in a variety of settings. For example:
- Purchase items through bargaining;
- Ask for directions;
- Order food and interact with restaurant staff;
- Experience a Chinese style banquet;
- Prepare and present oral reports;
- Participate in Chinese recreational activities, and more.
