Beijing Chinese Language

Intensive Chinese for All Students, Offered All Year Round

The goals of CET's Beijing Chinese Language program are twofold: rapid improvement of language skills and a solid understanding of contemporary Chinese society. Weekly themes integrate the intensive curriculum--a lecture class might introduce the "Chinese family"; family planning policies are debated during drill class; students interview a Chinese family for language practicum. A full-time language pledge and dorm rooms shared with local Chinese students round out this rigorous program.

January Term in Beijing:
Four-Week Intensive Program for Intermediate and Advanced Learners

Based in Beijing at the site of the CET's Beijing Chinese Language program, our four-week Janterm provides students a running start to the spring term. The curriculum, designed to emphasize oral skills and build a foundation for further language study, requires constant interaction between students and their teachers, their Chinese roommates and local Beijing'ers. The full-time language pledge further helps students "warm up" for the longer spring term that follows.
