3. A year in China – the benefits und problems

The one-year program at the Beijing Language Institute has enriched the Chinese degree course in these ways:

1. more incentive and purposefulness has been given to our first year studies;
2. the general standard of the use of the language, especially spoken Chinese, has been markedly raised;
3. the experience of living in a Chinese community has proved to be so valuable that no other form of education can substitute for it.

But, as far as formal tuition is concerned, there are problems concerning:

1. adaptation to a completely different system;
2. teaching materials and teaching methods;
3. classical Chinese;
4. evaluation and examination.

4. Special Courses provided by the External Services of the School

1. 1. One-year intensive language program in Chinese for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
   2. Other short courses for the professional and business communities.
