2016 Spring Language Competition was sponsored by China Programs and organized by a China partner student, Zhoucheng Zhu and a Chinese minor student Kangna Wen. About 50 students came to attend this event on April 2 at Behavioral Science Building. There were four parts for students in four levels. The first part was to play catchphrase for first year student; the second part was to play the Chef game for second year student; the third part was the Redical game for third year student and the fourth part was the Scattergories for fourth year student. In each part, Chinese minor students needed to work with a Chinese student to finish the competition.
This event was a great way to help American students and Chinese students to interact with each other as well as to practice their language.
This time the competition was more like a game. We hope students wouldn’t feel fear to participate. Next time, in order to showcase students’ language level, we will plan some more difficult tasks to challenge the students a little bit.
