Ⅰ. Overview
Xi’an Jiaotong University [XJTU], a key university under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, is also one of the nation’s oldest institutions of higher learning. It is among the earliest group of universities that benefited from both Project 211 and Project 985, and caters the goal of becoming a world class university. Today, Xi’an Jiaotong University is a comprehensive research university, offering programs in ten areas [Science, Engineering, Medicine, Economics, Management, Literature, Art, Law, Philosophy and Education], with a major emphasis on Science and Engineering. It includes twenty schools, eight undergraduate residential colleges, and eight affiliated teaching hospitals. With more than 5,500 faculty and staff members, XJTU has about 32,000 full-time students, which includes 1,406 international students.
The university has also been involved with the establishment and functioning of two Confucius Institutes (CI). The first one was a joint program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), United State of American; and the second one was in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, in the United Kingdom. The CI is focused on teaching Chinese language, and promoting cultural exchanges. More than ten thousand local citizens, which include a large number of school kids, have benefited from these programs.
The Department of Chinese Language Teaching forms an integral part of the School of International Education (SIE) at XJTU. With more than a decade of experience in teaching Chinese language, we enjoy a very good reputation both at home and abroad. The SIE organizes Chinese language field trips for international students, where students are provided with ample opportunity to hone their language skills and concomitantly experience the Chinese culture. The international students at XJTU are very applausive of these trips. SIE also organizes many activities such as Social practice, recreational and sports activities for oversea students to enrich their extra-curricular life.
