Course Overview
The one‑year Chinese language program at CTGU helps learners develop a solid foundation in Mandarin across listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Classes are organized by language ability, and students receive guidance tailored to their level. Many learners prepare for the HSK proficiency test, which is a recognized measure of Mandarin ability helpful for further academic study or career use. Cultural experience activities, such as traditional arts and practical language practice, support deeper engagement with Chinese culture and daily communication. CTGU also provides opportunities to take the HSK test on campus, which makes assessment convenient and supports academic goals. Over time, students who complete this program often continue to degree programs in China or use improved Mandarin skills in professional contexts that involve Chinese language use. Scholarship options, such as provincial or university awards, can reduce the financial burden, making the program more accessible. The diverse student body and supportive learning environment contribute to an educational experience that strengthens language skills and cultural understanding for international learners.
