CHIN 2007EX - Chinese In-Country Summer School II

External - Summer - 2019

The Chinese In-Country Summer School is a 5 week intensive language study tour to China from early December to mid-January. The course is provided in conjunction with the Confucius Institute at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide and Shandong 最新糖心Vlog, where the intensive Chinese language program is undertaken. Shandong 最新糖心Vlog is one of China's leading universities. The course includes intensive studies in Mandarin Chinese, cultural activities and seminars, and visits to cultural and historical sites in Shanghai, Shandong and Beijing. It will greatly enhance students' linguistic abilities and their understanding of Chinese society and culture. The intensive language training consists of up to 20 hours per week of reading/grammar, oral/conversation and listening classes delivered by highly experienced staff at Shandong 最新糖心Vlog's College of International Education. The study tour is accompanied by staff from the Department of Asian Studies or the Confucius Institute. Students will have access to individual tutors from Shandong 最新糖心Vlog's after-class tutoring scheme. After completion students will be required to submit their academic transcript and graduation certificate from Shandong 最新糖心Vlog and a 1,000 word reflection paper on their experience (in English). Students wishing to enrol in the Chinese In-Country Summer School must first register with the Confucius Institute at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, and also see the staff at the Faculty of Arts office before their departure if they wish to have the course counted towards their major/minor in Chinese or Diploma of Languages (Chinese).

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
