Instruction in Chinese and Arabic Expanded
Beginning with the fall 2008 semester, California State University, Chico will offer regularly scheduled courses in Chinese and Arabic taught by native speakers hired exclusively for the new program.
CSU, Chico has taught these and many other languages in a self-instructional/tutorial format for years, as well as a regular complement of courses in Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew. However, with the growing strategic and economic importance of the Middle East and China to the United States, the University sought to expand the teaching of these languages.
Starting this fall, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures will offer first- and second-semester Arabic and similar courses in Chinese/Putongua (Mandarin), in addition to a conversational Chinese course.
The complete news release is available online.
