For the first time ever, NYU Shanghai is delighted to offer the new Chinese Language Immersion program during Summer 2017. Students can enroll in the program and complete Intermediate I and Intermediate II level, or Advanced I and Advanced II level. Students must already be placed at an Intermediate I or Advanced I level. The NYU Shanghai Chinese Language Program is a 9 week summer program intended to enable students who are serious about studying Chinese language in a total immersion environment to cover a semester's worth of material and to earn four NYU Shanghai credits. This rigorous, demanding, and rewarding language program allows students to have first-hand experience in using Chinese in real world situations as well as studying and practicing it in the classroom.To ensure more effective teaching and learning, classes are capped at 10 students. In the afternoons during weekdays, students can participate in extracurricular activities such as Tai Chi, Chinese calligraphy, Chinese cooking, etc. Students participate in these activities based on their preferences and time schedules. For more details, please visit the Chinese Immersion Program website. Shanghai students will not need to formally apply but an interview with a Chinese language instructor and selection to participate will be required. There are two tracks, Intermediate or Advanced. Co-requisite: CHIN-SHU 221.
