Chinese Language and cultural Courses in China
|
 |
Our Chinese language programsare designed to immerse participants in Mandarin through class instruction, individual tutoring, and a unique language exchange with native Mandarin speakers through our partner program. Our group programs (especially short term sessions) typically emphasize conversational skills. Private one-to-one lessons may be tailored to fit individual student needs. |
| |
Learning to utilize a foreign language in a practical manner without immersion in an everyday environment can be difficult, even with prior academic study. Our center seeks to promote modern “communicative” teaching. Students are encouraged to actively learn through speaking and listening rather than just passive study. We feel that the combination of intensive spoken practice and everyday exposure provides the most effective means to improve one’s practical grasp of Chinese. Frequent grammar explanations are also provided in order to improve your structural understanding of Mandarin, helping you to master new conversational patterns quickly. |
|
| |
While we emphasize intensive practice, above all we feel that language learning must be fun and non-threatening in order to be effective. Our teachers like to enjoy themselves, and work hard to create a fun and constructive environment to better help you learn quickly and enjoy mastering Chinese! |

Three components of Our Chinese Language Courses: |
1. |
Core Chinese language Course
|
| |
A structured classroom environment augmented with immersive training is the core part of our comprehensive training package. Our core language course integrates the development of four primary language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. In order to maximize your grasp of Chinese, different aspects will receive more focus depending on the duration of your stay. For example, those with short term courses will receive more conversational training, whereas long term students will usually benefit from a more balanced approach. |

After-class tutoring |
| |
After-class tutoring provides students with opportunities to overcome their individual linguistic challenges in an informal environment. Students can receive assistance with their homework, develop specific language skills, or review classroom material. In addition, the informal sessions allow students to implement their own curriculum, allowing them to receive specialized training in subjects such as business. |
3. |
Language Exchange Partner Program |
| |
Our “Language Exchange Partner” program is an excellent platform for our students to expand their exposure to the Chinese language and culture beyond the classroom. The best way to learn about Chinese culture and society is to build connections on an individual level.
Our center regularly recruits Chinese college students seeking to practice English or other languages and interested in making friends with international students.
In order to facilitate this connection, our center can organize activities to allow both international and Chinese students to meet one another. Touring Beijing, meeting for coffee or dinner, and playing sports together will help you develop a relationship with a potential language partner. We provide our students with a list containing background information on Chinese people interested in participating in our program.
“Language Exchange Partner” can be booked as a part of our “Language Plus” program” or “Language Premium” program.
