 
CUHK
Orientation Day |
CLC Open Day and
CUHK Undergraduate Information Day
Date:
September 29, 2007 (Saturday) 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Chinese Studies is one of the strategic areas of development for CUHK.
Chinese Language is the key to the area studies and career development of
students, whether they are local, mainland Chinese or international students.
Having taught Chinese Language for more than 4 decades, CLC becomes the
biggest Chinese language training unit in teaching Chinese as a second Language
(CSL) among all tertiary institutions in Hong Kong and can be regarded as
a competitive edge of CUHK in undergraduate student admission. CLC offers
a variety of Putonghua and Cantonese programmes from elementary to advance
level. As long as reasonable course time, aptitude and effort have been
invested into the learning, a local student can attain advanced Putonghua
level and get reasonable score in language proficiency exams, such as the
COPA exam developed by CLC and the national Putonghua test.
On the other hand, CLC is the only unit in the university that runs substantial
credit-bearing courses for both UGC funded programmes and life-long learning
(continuing education) programmes. The information day will serve the purpose
of “killing two birds with one stone”: not only to reach out just to undergraduate
prospects, but also to the public who may eventually become part of our
family in the continuing education sector, whether native or non-native
Chinese speakers.
