Chinese Language Living-Learning Options

Chinese Language Living-Learning Community

The Flagship Living-Learning Community (LLC), which will debut in Fall 2016, is a living-learning community geared towards first-year and transfer students.  The Flagship LLC is part of the Honors College housing options provided by the Honors College and the Housing and Residence Life Department.  First-year and transfer students participating in the Flagship LLC are grouped together within Honors College housing, and provided opportunities to engage in Chinese language and culture within the residence hall. 

In addition to extending their experience with Chinese language and culture outside of the classroom, these students also develop a sense of community and a built in support system as they transition to WKU and navigate their year of Flagship coursework.   

*Scholars participating in this living option are not required to have a roommate who is also in the Flagship.  If you would like to request a room with a fellow Flagshipper, please, let our offices know when accepting your admission offer.  

 

Chinese Language Immersion House

The Chinese Language Immersion House, founded in 2015, is a WKU housing option geared towards students interested in an immersive living-learning language environment.  By living in the House, residents will develop communication skills in both academic and daily life settings through organized activities, informal daily contacts, and House events.

These same residents have the opportunity to develop leadership skills as Chinese Cultural Ambassadors (CCA) to current and prospective WKU students in one of three areas: Recruitment, Campus Involvement, and Community Development.

To live in the House residents must:

• Have achieved an Intermediate Mid Language level (ACTFL) prior to moving into the House
• Have completed 24 hours of WKU credit prior to move-in
• Uphold their language pledge within the House.  
• Attend and participate in the CCA training workshop in August 
• Attend a house-wide, bi-weekly meeting
• Attend functional area meetings as scheduled
• Be present at the House and, as an ambassador, within the WKU Chinese speaking community
