Learn Chinese at Beijing International Chinese College

I’m a Chinese Language teacher and a Coordinator of Programs. Right now, I’m designing the 2nd phase of the Chinese Language Program for China Public Diplomacy Association. At our BICC campuses, aside from our regular Chinese language courses, we also design special Chinese Language and Culture programs for foreign journalists working in Beijing, for embassy officials etc. I’m the program coordinator for the Chinese Language and Culture program for African foreign correspondents who need to be familiar with all aspects of Chinese culture to be able to write insightful news articles on China.

We’ve just finished the ‘Training Workshop for Chinese Teachers from abroad’, a program designed to further improve the Chinese level and teaching Chinese Mandarin techniques of foreign teachers who teach Chinese in their own countries. Teachers from Russia, Mongolia and Nepal participated in this phase of the training program, which was the fourteenth workshop since 2006.

The training course included 100 class hours, plus numerous sightseeing and cultural activities. The second phase this year will be organized from July 9th to July 29th. We expect more than 100 teachers to take part in the next phase of the program, held during the summer break. We encourage teachers with interest in becoming Chinese teachers to apply.

Also, BICC is organizing a FREE Summer Camp in Beijing from July 6 to July 26, sponsored by Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban). During three weeks of intensive Chinese language learning, participants will improve their capability in Spoken Chinese and cultivate their interest in the study of Chinese language. We’re receiving applications until 20th of April 2015, so students between the ages 18 - 26 years are welcome to apply!
