Beijing
Center for Language and Culture (TBC)
Summer
/ Semester / Year-long Program
The Beijing Center for Language
and Culture (TBC) was founded in the summer of 1998 to introduce the
world-wide academic community to modern-day China. Its first and largest
program is a semester or year-long study-abroad program for undergraduate
students. The undergraduate program integrates language study, a choice
of forty seminars on Chinese topics, adventure travel, and interaction
with Chinese students. Since then TBC has expanded to add a variety
of summer options, plus programs for faculty members and select graduate
students. In the few years of its existence TBC has established itself
among the top China-study programs.

College
Center for Language Studies
(CLS)
The CLS program recognizes the
importance of language in the context of culture. Rather than artificially
separating the two, the CLS devotes four hours of class time each
week to placing language study in a larger social, cultural, and historical
context. This culture/area studies component is designed to promote
interest in and facilitate the learning of Chinese language and civilization.
The culture/area studies component of the Chinese program includes
calligraphy, documentaries, lectures, field trips, and class discussions
on selected topics, as well as practice in language performance.

Stanford - Peking University Program
Program Overview: The
Stanford-Peking University program combines an intensive five-week
language program at Stanford University (June 22-July 23) with
a four-week practicum in Chinese at Peking University in Beijing,
China (July 26 - August 20). Intensive Chinese is offered at the
first, second, and third year levels. At Peking University, there
are five levels of instruction based on proficiency. Each course
is equivalent to one year instruction. Classes meet for four hours
of instruction, Monday through Friday.
Curriculum: Classes are
taught by faculty from Stanford University and Peking University.
During the first five weeks at Stanford, students achieve a foundation
of linguistic skills which prepares them for the second half of
the program. To maximize the unique language opportunity in Beijing,
each student is assigned a language partner. In addition, students
are required to complete a language project commensurate with his/her
level of Chinese. Curriculum books and materials include: A New
Perspective: Context, Function, and Structure for first-year Chinese,
A New Text for a Modern China, and Zhongji Hanyu Kouyu for the
second-year class (all by Peking University Press). Third-year
Chinese textbooks are compiled by the instructor. An optional 3-Day
weekend tour will be organized by Peking University.
Course Descriptions:
5. Intensive First-Year Modern Chinese 8 units
Conversation, reading, grammar, and elementary composition.
25. Intensive Second-Year Modern
Chinese 8 units
Further study in grammar, reading conversation, and composition. Students
acquire all the basic language skills necessary to function effectively in
a Chinese-speaking environment and to read both traditional and simplified
characters.
105. Intensive Third-Year Modern
Chinese 8 units
An introduction (using annotated texts) to newspapers, documents, and belles
letters.
Credit: Students will
receive a total of 15 units: 8 units of credit from Stanford University
for the five-week course, and 7 units of transfer credit from Peking
University. Non-Stanford students must arrange for credit transfer
to their home institution.
Program Fee: Tuition for
the entire program is approximately $5,600. Airfare, room and board
are not included. At both Stanford and Peking universities, students
stay on campus in student dormitories. The five-week rate for housing
at Stanford is approximately $700. The rate for double occupancy
is estimated at $300 per person for 28 nights in Beijing during
the program (the rate may be higher or lower depending on the exchange
rate).
Application Process: Applications
(with one letter of recommendation and personal statement) are
due April 2. Space is limited. Letters of admission will be sent
