leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the U. S. are scrambling to add Mandarin to
their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.
?It really is almost unprecedented (无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with... And to ensure that the U. S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage,” said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL).
To develop Chineselanguage programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers
has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often
hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.
Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom.
