The Chinese Language Program of Tsinghua University offers Chinese language courses of eight levels covering beginners and advanced learners. The curriculum of the program includes Speaking, Listening Comprehension, Comprehensive Chinese, Extensive Reading, Newspaper Reading, Classical Chinese, Hot Topics, Writing, Pronunciation, and Reading Aloud. The program delivers 20 class hours per week, 18 weeks per semester. In addition, elective courses are also available. In Fall 2017, there will be 212 students from 33 countries studying Chinese at Tsinghua. This is a great university and a wonderful Chinese Language and Culture Program! Located in Beijing, capital of The People's Republic of China; with access to great museums and significant cultural heritage sites in and near the city. I definitely look forward to join the program and continue to study Chinese Language and Culture at Tsinghua University in Beijing! ;-)
