Classes are divided into various levels including beginner, elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, advanced and HSK Exam classes. In beginner and elementary classes, Westerners and Asian/Pacific students are separated, whereas in intermediate and advanced classes, they are mixed up so that they communicate with each other in Chinese.
There are usually no more than 10 students in each class.
Curriculum: For non-degree program students, usually comprehensive Chinese, listening comprehension, oral Chinese, Chinese character writing, newspaper and magazine reading, Chinese culture and other courses are arranged; for Bachelor's degree programs, about 30 courses on Chinese language, Chinese literature, Chinese culture and Survey of China are offered.
