General Chinese Program: The Chinese Language Programs are designed to immerse participants in Mandarin through class instruction, after-class tutoring, language exchange with native Mandarin speakers, and optional electives. The group programs of general Chinese usually focus on conversational skills training. The private one-to-one lessons may be tailor-made to fit the objectives of individual students. Accelerated teaching methods allow participants at lower proficiency levels to acquire the language skills needed for effective communication in a short period of time, and advanced students to gain expression proficiency at an abstract level. Topics studied include everyday situations and Chinese culture, business, society, and history. General Features:
