6 points + 60 hours over three weeks + Summer semester + Shanghai International Studies University + Prerequisites: a first-year Chinese language sequence + Prohibitions: equivalent Monash Chinese language unit

Synopsis: This unit will allow second year students to complete the equivalent of one semester of Chinese language study in three weeks of intensive in-country study. The unit will be offered as part of the Monash in-country Chinese program, in December and/or February at Shanghai International Studies University, People's Republic of China. The level of the unit in which the student enrols is determined by the highest level of Chinese language previously completed. Unit content will be equivalent to that of the corresponding subject within the Chinese programs at Clayton. The workload for this unit will be not less than that required for a 6-point on-campus unit at Monash.

Assessment: Assessment criteria will differ in accordance with actual subjects studied in the country. These and their relationship with subject objectives will match assessment criteria for the equivalent on-campus Monash Chinese language subjects. Written and oral work will be assessed by Chinese language staff of both Monash university and the host institution.
