Overview of our Chinese Language Immersion Programs
The Chinese immersion
programs offered through Language Skills Abroad are intended to enable the student to study Chinese abroad and learn Chinese
as rapidly as possible. Each Chinese language school abroad provides the opportunity to participate in small classes,
take private lessons, or both.
The classrooms use the
communicative approach for learning Chinese. Students focus on improving their conversational skills from the first day of
class. Complete beginners start by covering simple, basic topics such as learning how to identify themselves, explain where
they are from… etc. . As a student becomes more proficient, in their Chinese courses abroad, more extensive topics,
such as economics and politics will be covered in Chinese. While exploring new topics, students learn vocabulary and grammar
at a faster rate. Within a short time, the student will find him/herself able to effectively converse in Chinese!
Effectiveness of a Chinese immersion program
During
the course of the Chinese language immersion program, the learning doesn’t just stop once class is over. It is best
to learn Chinese abroad because while living where Chinese is the common language, you will constantly practice what you learned
in class. Those who study Chinese abroad are constantly practicing. Just running a simple errand such as ordering a meal
means having to use Chinese gives the needed practice to learn Chinese abroad. Though this may originally be quite challenging,
within just a short period of time, you will obtain the Chinese language skills that will help you to communicate fluently
in Chinese.

Reasons to stay with a host family during your study abroad experience
Chinese
language immersion programs are particularly effective because those in Beijing provide the opportunity to live with a host
family (though some of the locations offer other accommodation options too). Our Chinese host families, apartments, and residences
have all been inspected and approved by the respective Chinese language school abroad. Staying with a host family allows
the opportunity to practice the Chinese learned in class in a very natural family environment.
· Host families in our language immersion programs are middle class
by local standards.
· Each student participating in the Chinese language immersion program
will have a private room and study area.
· Most host families as well as many of the other accommodation
types are located within walkable distance or a brief bus ride to the Chinese language school. Some of the schools, depending
on the season and availability, where the distance between the school and accommodation is farther. Our students are provided with a key to the accommodation
in which they are staying and are free to come and go as they please.
