Friday Night Forum: May 14, 4:30 - 7:30 p.m.
 At our final Friday night forum of spring 2010, we will celebrate work students have done in their Chinese language and arts studies. With both live and video performances, it promises to be a joyful event. We'll provide the popcorn, and awards will be given for best videos!
Our special guest speaker will be Marisa Fang of Long Island's Plainview School District, who we are proud to claim as NYU's first Chinese-certified teacher. Fang 老师 has established a flourishing, long-running Chinese FLES program and is a textbook and workbook author (most recently of the Chinese Treasure Chest series).
Register here. The forum will be held in Kimball Hall Lounge, 246 Greene Street at Waverly Place, NYU.
The forum will be available by webcast on DCLT's website. Professional development credits will be provided by NYS ALBETAC.
