学习中文、了解中国的 道路从这里开始
The Monash Chinese Incountry Program is a short term, highly intensive Chinese language training program taught at four Chinese universities in Shanghai, Beijing and Kunming. Offering the equivalent of one or two units of Chinese language study in three or six weeks in a Chinese language environment, the Program caters for learners of all levels, from absolute beginners to native speakers of Chinese. Monash students and non-Monash students can gain credit towards degree programs. Members of the general public not seeking credit are also welcome to apply. Over the last seven years our program has grown into the largest of its kind in the world, with over 1,300 students having joined the program and completed Chinese Studies units in China.
Students who have previously participated in this program have not only dramatically improved their language skills, their understanding of Chinese culture and society, and their ability to communicate effectively with local Chinese people; many of them have also uncovered good employment opportunities.
The Chinese Incountry Program starts every year in late November and ends in early January and caters for learners of all levels, from absolute beginners to native speakers of Chinese.
Chinese language levels 1-12 will run at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) in Shanghai. It is well known that after nearly 30 years of reform and opening-up, Shanghai is now China's largest and most internationalised city and a major economic, trade and financial centre. The Chinese translation units will be held at the Civil Aviation Management Institute of China (CAMIC), and one business related translation unit will be taught at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE). One beginners language and culture unit will be offered at Yunnan Normal University (YNNU). Both CAMIC and UIBE are located in Beijing and YNNU is located in Kunming in Yunan Province.
Both SISU and UIBE are key universities under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and among top universities in the country. CAMIC is the only institute under the direct jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. YNNU is one of the four key centers for the provision of Chinese language instruction to the South-East Asian region.
The teaching materials, contact hours, course outlines, methods of assessment and workload of the Chinese Incountry Program units are equivalent to those of the corresponding Chinese language units offered by the Clayton based Chinese Studies Program at Monash University. All teaching units are run under the supervision of the Chinese Studies Program staff and in strict accordance with Monash criteria, thus ensuring quality teaching and facilitating the granting of credit towards your Monash degree. This also provides great flexibility and convenience for students from other faculties in Monash, and other Australian tertiary institutions who can join the program and obtain credit through cross institutional arrangements. Certificates can be produced for non-degree students at request.
In addition to classroom teaching, the host universities will organise a number of complementary cultural and educational activities during the program. For example, CAMIC students will visit the Palace Museum and the Great Wall in Beijing, and Shanghai Program students will visit Shanghai’s special economic zone - the Pudong New District and the Chinese Garden City of Suzhou. At UIBE, in addition to teaching related activities, students are expected to participate in seminars presented by government officials from the Ministry of Commerce of China. YNNU has organised a program of visits to key historical and cultural sites in and around Kunming.
学习中文、了解中国的 道路从这里开始
蒙纳士大学中国留学班是蒙纳士大学文科院中国研究系与中国上海、北京和昆明四所大学联合举办的短期中文强化班。它可以让学生在三到六周内在中文的语言环境中完成本来需要一到两个学期才能完成的中文课。留学班开设的中文课适应各种中文程度的同学，无论是中文的初学者还是以中文为母语的同学都能找到适合自己中文程度的课程。蒙纳士大学的同学和来自其它大学的同学可以通过学习取得完成大学学位所需的学分。留学班也欢迎社会各界希望提高自己中文水平、了解中国文化的人士报名参加。
对外经贸大学和上海外国语大学是中国教育部的重点大学。中国民航管理学院是中国民航总局直属院校。云南师范大学是中国为东南亚地区培训汉语教师的四个基地之一。除了课堂教学以外，中方合作大学还将在学习期间组织一些文化教育活动。
中国留学班在过去七年里蓬勃发展，已经一跃而成为全世界所有西方国家大学同类中国留学班中规模最大的一个。在过去七年中，共有一千三百多名学生先后参加并完成了我们的中国留学班的学习。参加留学班的学生不仅极大地提高了自己的中文水平，同时加深了对当代中国文化和中国社会的认识，加强了用中文进行交流的能力。参加过留学班的许多学生在毕业后都找到较为理想的工作。
中国留学班的举办时间是十一月底到一月初。课程设置包括了初级中文到高级中文。无论是中文的初学者还是以中文为母语的同学都能找到适合自己中文程度的课程。 2008-9年度，我们将在上海外国语大学举办中文主科课程一到十二级。上海外国语大学是中国教育部的重点大学。上海曾是远东经济贸易和金融中心。经过近三十年的改革开放，上海目前已成为中国经济最发达、最国际化的商业城市，是中国乃至亚洲的经济、贸易和金融中心。
在北京的对外经贸大学和中国民航管理学院举办三门与中英翻译有关的课程翻译课程，在云南师范大学(YNNU)举办一门语言文化初级入门课程。 北京既是中国的首都，又是中国的政治和文化中心，同时也是世界著名的国际大都市。昆明是中国少数民族最多、文化最丰富的云南省的省会。
留学班将在蒙纳士大学中国研究系的严格监督下，按照蒙纳士大学的教材、教学大纲、教学计划和测试办法进行教学和考试，从而保证教学质量，保证参加留学班的学生可以拿到相应的蒙纳士大学学分。这样的教学管理为来自蒙纳士其他学院和澳洲其他大学的同学提供了灵活方便的选课方式。任何一所澳大利亚大学的学生，都可以参加蒙纳士大学中国留学班，并通过校际学分转换把他们在蒙纳士大学中国留学班获得学分转换成本校学分。如果选择中国留学班作为单科学习（即不记学分），完成学习之后，我们将颁发结业证书。
在学习期间，除了课堂教学以外，当地大学还将组织与教学有关的文化活动。例如，在中国民航管理学院学习的学生将参观北京故宫博物院和长城；在上海外国语大学学习的学生将参观上海经济特区 – 浦东新区，并将游览苏州的中国园林；对外经济贸易大学除了安排参观活动，还将安排中国商务部的官员到留学班讲演；云南师范大学将带领学生到春城昆明和周边地区的主要历史和文化景点进行一系列的现场教学活动。
