Curriculum

Each teacher chooses one of the ten Themes, such as Family in the U.S., Sports and Recreation in U.S. Culture, etc. The Theme is divided into 4 topics, each representing one daily lesson. Some of the topics are suggested/determined by Wuhan University, but each teacher usually has the chance to invent one or more topic lessons which reflect his/her own interest and specialty.

Another aspect of the curriculum is teaching public speaking skills. Each day, each student should have the chance to participate in fun, interactive lessons. Daily activities might be giving an impromptu speech in front of the class, engaging in a debate with other students, or doing a role-play. In the beginning of the summer, teachers teach small lessons about general public speaking skills, and throughout the summer the students work on preparing a formal speech, which is given on the last day of class.
