MFMT
Mandarin for Future Mandarin Teachers (MFMT)

July 4 – August 12, 2011


The Confucius Institute at China Institute (CI@CI),  created in 2006 by China Institute in partnership with East China Normal University (ECNU),  is a leading provider of pedagogy and methodology training in teaching Mandarin Chinese.  CI@CI’s Mandarin for Future Mandarin Teachers (MFMT) program is designed to meet the needs of pre-service or in-service teachers who are interested in teaching Mandarin Chinese in the United States, particularly in pK-12 schools, and who are proficient in both spoken and written Mandarin and English.  The MFMT program offers:

  • A scholarship-subsidized six-week summer professional development program based in Shanghai, China, designed in reference to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) certification requirements, with graduate-level credits offered by ECNU;
  • A series of New York City-based workshops throughout the academic year on critical topics of pedagogy or methodology;
  • A dynamic community of pK-12 educators who share best practices, ideas, and resources via www.China360online.org, an online community for educators interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to China and the Chinese language and culture.

During summer 2011, MFMT will offer 4 courses (3 credits each) in Chinese phonology, script, grammar, and classical literature. All courses will be taught by distinguished ECNU professors who are leading scholars in their fields of specialization.
