Learn something new this summer. Spend 4 weeks learning Chinese language (Mandarin) online while also getting a flavor of Chinese culture.

We offer different levels , which are tailored to your Chinese proficiency.

This is the course for you if you:

• have never studied Chinese before and want a kick start into this fascinating and vital language
• have already studied some Chinese (to elementary level) and want an effective refresher online course
• want to seize the time and chance to study Chinese online regardless of where you are
• want to get a taste of studying at XJTLU

COURSE DELIVERY

Our four-week summer school online course runs from 27 June - 22 July 2022.

The course is made up of daily live, interactive online sessions, as well as follow-up exercises and activities.

Live sessions take place Monday to Friday, 2 hours per day. The learning materials of each lesson will be provided by our experienced teachers earlier so you can preview the content. The course is made up of 40 hours of live sessions, and around 40 hours of homework (exercise/quizzes/videos/interactive games, etc.).

There will be plenty of opportunities to practice the language you are learning with your classmates. We also provide opportunities for students to speak with our native Chinese speaker teachers in our live online sessions, and get useful feedback immediately.

Teaching materials and style

The textbook is “HSK Standard Course”, which has received high reputation in preparing for HSK tests. But the classroom will not be textbook based. Our experienced teachers create and adapt their own teaching materials to suit students’ needs and learning style. Our teaching style is communicative where the focus is on your use of the language in class, preparing you for real-life situations outside of class. You will be offered not only live lectures but also the access to lots of interactive tasks and activities.
