Language Study Abroad Program (12 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 twelve points of Chinese language study in six weeks of intensive in-country study. The unit will be offered as part of the Monash in-country Chinese program, between December and February at Shanghai International 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 unit within the Chinese programs at Clayton. The workload for this unit will be not less than that required for two 6-point on-campus units at Monash.

Assessment: Assessment criteria will differ in accordance with actual units studied in 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: 120 hours over six weeks (20 tutorials per week)

Prerequisites: A first-year Chinese language sequence
