Set at York and Nanjing Universities, this summer course aims at improving students' Chinese language ability and introduces them to basic aspects of classical and modern Chinese civilization. The course begins with three weeks of language training at York U, and is followed by a month's program in Nanjing, China, where students will be immersed in intensive language studies in a local environment, as well as exposed to various historical sites of the city, and will gain transnational life experience.
The program will provide students with training in Chinese language and knowledge of Chinese literature and culture. Having a good knowledge of Chinese language, its history, culture, and contemporary society will significantly increase their prospects in the job market.
