Tsinghua launched its fourth English Summer Camp on July 9 for nearly 3,200 students who have just completed their freshman year.
The English Summer Camp features a flexible learning style,--the students can choose from four ways of learning. The four learning styles include intensive training in listening and speaking, comprehensive knowledge training, internet self-study, and overseas studies.
All participants comprise a “nation”, and they are divided into eight “provinces” named after the eight letters of “TSINGHUA”. Each “province” has four “cities”. The students in each city wear four different colored T-shirts.
For the students of each module, there is a morning lecture each weekday from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, which is supposed to follow the weekly themes (music and culture for the first week, hot topics for the second week, and the Olympics for the third week).
A series of activities including lectures, singing competition, movies, dance, and Camp Store will be held to help the students learn more about foreign cultures.
More than 130 foreign teachers and foreign volunteers took part in the camp.
The Summer Camp will run through July 26.
