Invitation to Tsinghua University English Immersion Summer Camp
The Tsinghua University English Summer Camp welcomes you joining us from July 5th until July 27th , 2007. Approximately 3200 students will be involved in the camp on Tsinghua Campus which is located at Northwest of Beijing next to the Fourth Ring Road. The goal is to increase interest and enthusiasm in learning English as well as to improve basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
As a leading institution of education in China, Tsinghua University provides very good opportunities for our students who come from all over China and passed the very strict national entrance examination to enter Tsinghua.
The Camp will be an intensive English language experience for all participants. Each day will be devoted to a variety of activities, formal classroom instruction, lectures and various activities including seminars, singing, dancing, and playing games etc.
We are now inviting English native speakers to join us as short time teachers and volunteers. Faculty members and students from our partner universities are mostly welcomed to participate.
During the three weeks, the English teachers will be provided free accommodation (from July 3rd to July 29th , 2007) plus a stipend of 10,000 RMB Yuan (around $1,200 USD) per person. Volunteers will be provided free accommodation (from July 3rd to July 29th , 2007) plus a stipend of 1,000 RMB Yuan per person. Transportation between the Beijing Airport and campus will be provided on July 3rd and July 4th , 2007.
The foreign teachers in this program will be requested to have at least a bachelor¨s degree and will be expected to work with a Chinese coordinator, some foreign volunteers, and some Tsinghua student volunteers in a team effort to provide direct instructions in the activities. Each team will be working with approximately 100 of the most talented and highly motivated students from all over China. Your experiences working with these outstanding students will be the highlight of your time in China. As a foreign visitor, you will have an opportunity to know this country in a very unique, interesting and exciting way.
There will be three days of training and team coordination prior to the camp (July 5th to July 7th). Faculty members of the English Department will provide materials and expertise as well as supervision and assistance during the three weeks of camp.
Weather conditions in Beijing in July are warm and humid with temperatures in the 90s (33＜C) and a good chance of showers. On your off days there will be opportunities to visit the Great Wall, which is located only an hour¨s drive from Tsinghua, as well as many other sites of Beijing.
If you are interested in coming to China for a short visit during the summer vacation, please take the chance and we warmly welcome you here in Beijing.
