Study Chinese or Japanese: http://www.allex.org/summer-chinese-or-japanese/
The WUSTL-ALLEX Intensive Chinese and Japanese Institute will offer intensive beginning
level classes in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese at Washington University in St. Louis
for seven weeks this summer. Each class meets for 2 hours per day, 5 days a week for
7 weeks. The course is intensive and requires 3-5 hours of mandatory self-managed
study per day.
This program is designed to train students to speak and listen to Chinese or Japanese,
and to introduce students to reading and writing the language. At the end of the course
students will be expected to perform in all four skills-speaking, listening, reading
and writing-at a basic level of proficiency.
Students will not only learn to speak the language; they will also develop an understanding
of Chinese or Japanese interpersonal behavior. The ultimate goal is to teach students
not just to speak Chinese or Japanese, but to function successfully in Chinese or
Japanese culture-to present themselves as an intelligent person in the culture using
the language.
Students will learn to speak and perform correctly in a variety of social situations.
