Practical Mandarin programs are offered in 9 levels, from beginners to advanced level.

All classes are conducted in Chinese. Mandarin phonetic symbols and Pinyin spelling are used to indicate the pronunciation of characters. Reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension are given equal emphasis in each class and student performance is evaluated accordingly. Students are placed in classes suited to their levels based on their placement test results, In addition, students must pass a final exam at the end of each term to move up to next level.

 Goals of the Practical Mandarin Program:

• To provide professional Teaching Chinese as a Second Language(TCSL) instruction.
• To ensure all courses are delivered by certified professional TCSL instructors.

• To regularly offer students individual language one-on-one tutoring sessions with TCSL majors.
