Xiying Posted June 22, 2006 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 at 02:51 PM What are some good intensive Chinese language programs in China/Taiwan for huaqiao? I'm an American-born Chinese: pronunciation is not a problem, but my ability to read/write and scope of vocabulary is lacking. I'm looking to study Chinese for a half year (Spring of 2007) following my graduation from college. I heard that ICLP at Taida has many overseas Chinese enrolled, but that program (according to its website) only accepts new students in the Fall. Any experience with any others?

doumeizhen Posted June 22, 2006 at 11:29 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 at 11:29 PM I don't know if there are special intensive programs for ABCs, although, I've heard that there is a school for people of Chinese decent, although from what I understood that wasn't particularly intensive so much as it was free. (I barely spoke Chinese myself when I was told about this so I didn't really get all of the details). Most of the intensive programs seem to give preference to people who study for a full year, but the IUP does allow some people to come for semesters. Definitely incquire with the ICLP. You'll also have to ask them about the application deadline. I know there are lots of other people who will want to recommend programs, so I'll stop at that, but in case you want to have a look, here is a List of Universities Accepting Foreign Students. And remember, there is already a ton of comments on various programs in these forums if you don't find a school within your particular criterion.
