INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY: THE CHINESE OFFER PARTNERSHIP

On July 24 our Gymnasia hosted a delegation from the Institute of Confucius that is located at the premises of Taras Shevchenko National University, Kyiv. Lian Tsi, a teacher of Chinese, offered us to start Chinese lessons for the students of 5-11th forms beginning from the new academic year. The Chinese party takes responsibility of providing the material and technical resources for this project. A teacher of Chinese may arrive at our Gymnasia in October-November. Our party will be responsible for providing accommodation and organizing a group of schoolchildren for learning Chinese.
The Principal of FCG conducted preliminary negotiations with the members of the delegation. The parties have agreed to research the demand and start the project as soon as possible. It is quite possible that soon the students of our Gymnasia as well as other schools will have a chance to “struggle” with learning the Chinese characters.
P.S. Last academic year Chinese was not taught in our Gymnasia due to the lack of a qualified teacher. Before, 3-7 students used to study Chinese with Tsin Tsin, a native speaker from China.
