Embracing the Festive Season

Carol Jia and Shuping Zhang's Chinese class students connected with peers in China to exchange stories about Christmas and New Year's cultural traditions. Engaging in a unique celebration, students from both sides sang the same song in two languages, bridging the gap between American and Chinese customs. This language exchange not only served as a linguistic exercise but also fostered a rich cultural exchange. Together, they rejoiced in the spirit of the holidays and anticipated the New Year, building connections that transcend borders.
