 University of British Columbia - Department of Asian Studies Program Overview Since the first Chinese language courses offered in 1957-1958, UBC has developed one of the most comprehensive Chinese studies programs in North America . With more than 2,500 individual registrations annually, the Chinese Language Program in the Department of Asian Studies has become North America 's largest program in the Chinese Language. It is a fundamental policy of the Chinese Language Program that students be placed in courses appropriate to their existing level of ability so that they can learn and develop their language proficiency to a higher level . To meet the special needs of students of diverse backgrounds, we currently offer two separate tracks on all levels of language courses. Our heritage language courses are designed for students who have a strong background in understanding spoken Chinese but who have weaker skills in reading and writing. For students who have limited literacy levels (up to Grade 6 in a Chinese speaking country/region), they will be placed in our (100-300 level) heritage language courses. Most of our higher level courses (from CHIN 381 above) are Literature and Classical Chinese courses for advanced heritage language learners who have received more than 6 years of formal education in Chinese speaking countries/regions. Our non-heritage language courses are designed for foreign language learners who had NO previous exposure to the Chinese language and who need to develop all four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, in addition to cultural understanding. There are specially designed100-400 level non-heritage language courses and literature courses for them. (See course description) We also offer special courses for Cantonese speakers who have strong Chinese literacy but need to learn how to speak standard Mandarin. (See Course description: Mandarin for Cantonese Speakers ). It is our ultimate mission to serve all our students (both heritage and non-heritage) well by maintaining the highest standards of teaching and learning, in order to provide a learning environment that will inspire and enable individuals to grow intellectually, be prepared to live and work in a global environment, and achieve personal fulfillment. 604.822.0019 Asian Center 403-1871 West Mall Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z2 Canada Fax Fax: 604.822.8937 Phone Phone: 604.822.0019 Tuition charges Tuition fees: Please check website for details.
