1.Introduction
In Nathan’s My Freshman Year (2005), she was involved in a university community again as a freshman to know the difference between International and American students. She finished her research as a participant observer which means the researcher who is both insider and outsider during the cultural studies. Nathan did everything as an “observation-participant” to study the college life and students. She studied like a real freshman and lived in the dormitory. However, she is a middle-aged woman who has the different experience and generation from freshman. She is not “native”to the culture.
Since I am an international student, I always feel so different when I came to UCSC community. The cultural , life habit, study environment, everything are so fresh and challenging for international students to involve in. When I firstly came in College 9, I felt that everything is so international and corresponds to the theme of College 9 ---“International and Global Issues”. During International orientation, I met and made friends with so many Chinese students. Between our conversation, I found that most of us confused in the new environment. The communication is the most serious problem and it is difficult for us to involve the community. Chinese students lose their confidence easily because the native languages between Chinese and English have totally different background and logic. The general trouble is hard to communicate with others, which makes students become more silent and reticent. People can improve their ability of language by interacting with American students. However, most of Chinese students are willing to stay with Chinese friends. Students are too shy to interact with Americans, so they have no chance to improve our language. Also, some Chinese students don’t care about involving with American community and just hang out with Chinese. Moreover, in the class, Chinese students should have a long time to adapt with the new circumstance because of the language, the culture, the teaching style and the thinking model. According to these findings and feelings, my research question is : “How can Chinese students become more involved in college life?”
2. Research design and methodology
In order to answer the Research Questions, I decide to do the interview with Chinese and American students to collect the specific data. Since I am a Chinese student, I am both an “insider” and an “outsider” during my research. Because as a Chinese student, I can feel the true confused emotion and challenging which most of Chinese students face now. Also, as an interviewer, I must interview the Chinese and American at the same time objectively.

1. Study Abroad Within Beijing With CIEE
Beijing Language and Tradition University (BLCU) may be the only community university within
China with a concentrate on teaching the Oriental to non-Chinese people on earth. China isn't as
worried about getting politically correct†about identification because the U.S. could be. There
are horror tales about Chinese-Americans or just Asian-People in america becoming mistaken as
Chinese-Chinese (Nationals seems odd), and wiki becoming scolded for not knowing Chinese and
Chinese lifestyle, but I'd favour Crowded subways certainly are a excellent way to review people-t-
-individuals interactions while appreciating high-tech public transportation.
Given the program's hectic educational schedule, weekly local routines and excursions, and industry
study excursions, the Alliance strongly discourages learners from hosting visitors before finish of the
semester. This program cost includes tuition and fees, pre-departure components, guidance with
trying to get a visa, orientation, casing, weekly activities, all textbooks, the services of a full-time
Resident Director, medical and evacuation insurance, and a one-week field study trip.
YC: In addition they raided Yirenping's Beijing workplace And Beijing law enforcement investigated
feminist activists who took component within the Occupy Men's Space (å 领男厕所) campaign
a couple of years back. China barbarically detains feminists who advertising campaign against
sexual harassment, in the mean time on the world phase, China is co-hosting a women's summit with
the UN. No-one can disregard such incongruity.
Verdict, although he experienced he previously learned an equivalent quantity of intensive chinese
language program language within each the Chinese this individual learned was close to useless on
the floor, but he previously real fun with japan (people understood what this individual was saying).
And to reply to your question,as an United states of Chinese descent who has been understanding
Japanese without any help online, I believe that knowing Chinese does indeed assist in learning
Japanese somewhat. Individually, I find Chinese grammar and having less consistency incredibly
difficult.
2. When choosing the proper Chinese study plan for you, there are several additional factors to
consider. Obviously, the very best places to review Chinese are Chinese speaking countries such as
for example China, Taiwan & Singapore. Having said that, assuming every city within China may be
the same is similar to assuming Brand new York is similar to San Francisco. You have choices, and
whether you are considering an exciting urban encounter, a classically Chinese encounter, or even
something more off-the-beaten-path, there is a destination for you.
If you are using Skritter to understand and write Chinese personas , i quickly recommend that you
have a look at the pop-up dictionary Zhongwen because it enables you to import terms straight into

Liteâ€, includes the Chinese/English dictionary and the choice to send†characters to Skritter,

Ford pursued Chinese because this individual believed the opportunity to speak a vocabulary other

is fairly rare. His fascination with Asia and China began in early stages and he wanted an improved
knowledge of Chinese culture since it has such a wealthy history and exotic interest it. And the data
of Chinese is a good conversation starter. Ford furthermore mentioned that within the U.S., the
majority of private schools are providing Mandarin Chinese within their curriculums, specifically
targeting younger students and several public educational institutions are following footsteps.
Students who've met the eligibility specifications of this program but demonstrate vocabulary
abilities below that of the student who provides completed 135 hrs of college-level Chinese could be
put into Elementary I. You can find no Oriental electives because of this level. All students could also
take a single CIEE elective taught within English, instead of a Chinese elective, within the
recommended complete load, or and a complete load with permission of the resident director and
house institution advisor. Students are put in the correct language level predicated on a language
placement examination taken during orientation.
Using these books because the main foundation for the course material gives your Chinese class
framework and offer the teacher with fixed lessons to assist you complete the books. However,
they're great affordability and with the proper attitude plus some dedication they can nevertheless
get you the essential Chinese and the foundational degree you want.
Each morning I took subway for just one hr and half to visit across Beijing from north to southern (a

Although I have a few previous experiences with calligraphy, to lay a good foundation and learn it a
lot more systematically we decided to start from scratch along with his approach.
But this hasn't stopped Mandarin from using precedence of these languages in the thoughts of
politicians, mom and dad, and language schools providing it because the up-and-coming language of
worldwide business. The Modern Vocabulary Association of America (MLA) conducts regular surveys
of vocabulary enrollment at universities in america. The newest survey, used 2009, displays
Mandarin catching around So if you're seeking to learn an Asian vocabulary, your country as well as
your job prospects may reap the benefits of a non-Mandarin option.
