FLAP grant - The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) is administered by the US Department of Education. Yinghua received a no-cost extension for a 4th year of FLAP grant funding: the total program period was from 9/1/2009-8/30/2013. The grant helped Yinghua Academy establish a middle school program focused on increasing study of Chinese language in both minutes of instruction and language proficiency. With FLAP funding, Yinghua Academy developed a curriculum scope and sequence for Chinese language learning using immersion teaching methods at the middle school level, established a sister-school relationship and a study abroad component in China, provided for assessment of student language proficiency and literacy, and supported teacher professional development and collaborations with other institutions.
