Language Study Abroad Program (6 points)

(ARTS)

Leader: Robert Irving

Offered:
Overseas Summer 2003 (Off-campus)
Overseas Summer 2004 (Off-campus)

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 units studied in the country. These and their relationship with unit objectives will match assessment criteria for the equivalent on-campus Monash Chinese language units. Written and oral work will be assessed by Chinese language staff of both Monash university and the host institution.

Contact Hours: 60 hours over three weeks (20 tutorials per week)

Prerequisites: a first-year Chinese language sequence

Prohibitions: equivalent Monash Chinese language unit
