Chinese Language Extension

The language extension to our program is for students who wish to further advance their Chinese in an intensive environment. After the 5 week program is over, students who select this extension will return to Beijing for Chinese language classes and private tutoring at Beijing International Studies University.

The program offers 6 hours of intensive Chinese studies daily except for Sunday. In the morning, students will take Chinese language classes with no more than 5 students per class, focusing on oral and written communication. In the afternoon students will have one on one tutoring with Chinese student teachers to further expand the students' vocabulary and communication skills. The classes and tutoring will be individually designed to suit the Chinese language level of the student.

Program activities such as Chinese Calligraphy and martial arts and visits to Confucius Temple, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, Chinese Science and Technology Museum, Beijing Ballet and a sporting event are included in the language extension.

The Chinese language extension runs for 15 days for participants of session 1 and 10 days for participants of session 2. Those students who wish to participate in this extension must apply at the time of submitting their application.
