LANGUAGE COMPETITION
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. 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.
2016年春季，由中国项目赞助的语言比赛在4月2日，由一名中国学生朱舟成和一名中文辅修专业学生文康纳(Connor Wetz)主持进行。大约50名学生参与了此次比赛。比赛为四个年级的学生设置了不同的形式和内容。一年级学生的比赛内容是猜词；二年级学生的比赛内容是点餐；三年级学生的比赛内容是根据边旁部首写字；四年级学生的比赛内容是根据要求猜字。每一部分中文辅修专业的学生都必须和一名中国学生一起合作完成任务。
这个活动很大程度的帮助中文辅修专业的学生和中国学生之间建立良好的友谊并且帮助他们练习语言。此次比赛更像是一次游戏竞技，目的是让学生们能够轻松的参与。在以后的活动中，我们会更加注重学生的语言水平，设置一些更加有难度的活动挑战学生的语言能力。
