Language Program Introduction

The non-degree programs of BLCU consist of short-term courses (one academic semester or less) with durations of 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 20 weeks; and long-term courses with durations of one or two academic years. Certificates are issued by BLCU to students who successfully complete and pass the entire course.

Short-term courses are the most popular choices for international students. There are two types of short-term courses available varying in the intensity of study: the regular course and the intensive course. Regular courses consist of 20 hours of class per week, 4 hours every day from 8 am to 12 noon, Monday through Friday; while intensive courses consist of 30 hours of class per week, 6 hours every day from 8 am to 12 noon and from 2 pm to 4 pm. The intensive course are offered to students in the Beginner and Intermediate streams. (N.B. The intensive stream is not offered to Advanced students). The levels are explained below:

Long-term courses are based on 20 hours of class per week. Intensive hours are not available for long-term courses.

• After registration at the university, all new students are required to take a placement test consisting of writing and speaking in order to enable the faculty to select the appropriate class difficulty level for every student.


• BLCU is famous for the intensity of its Chinese immersion teaching methodologies. Teachers may teach in English at the beginning of a course to help students slowly adjust to the new environment, but most classes will be taught in Chinese a few days after the course starts.


• Students are taught both Pin Yin and Chinese simplified characters. Homework is assigned on a regular basis and periodic quizzes are held in class in addition to mid-term and final examinations. (Students attending courses of 12 weeks and 20 weeks are required to take mid-term and final examinations to obtain their certificate.)


• Speaking, listening, reading and writing are properly balanced in the course. Students can focus on a specific aspect based on individual expectations after class.


• Each class has less than 20 students. The number varies due to the results of the placement test and the transfer of students after a few trial classes at the beginning of the course.


• Beyond the language programs, other departments (i.e. Physical Education Department and Arts Departments) also offer a variety of extracurricular courses including: Tai Ji Quan, San Da, Chinese calligraphy, Chinese painting, Er Hu and other Chinese traditional musical instrument courses. For students on are our Smart Service Package and Basic Service, our staff will provide you with the information of courses upon your arrival and assist you to get enrolled.
