The division of teaching is responsible for English course offerings (or other foreign languages) and international students’ Chinese language curriculum. These include providing students appropriate and diversified learning environments, so that students can take suitable courses according to their needs. In the English-related curriculum, the goal is to help students build their solid skills in daily life English, academic English and English for specific purposes. Hopefully, after the training, students will be able to communicate effectively with other people in English in all contexts. As to the Chinese language curriculum, it includes basic and advanced Chinese courses for international students to select, with the goal to improve international students’ communication skills in Chinese, and enrich their understanding of Chinese society and culture as well.
The division of administration is responsible for self-learning curriculum, after-school tutoring, and remedial teaching. The goal is to develop diversified self-learning curriculum, to guide students from passive learning to motivated active learning, and finally, to promote students’ learning effectiveness. For those students with special needs or who are lagging in their learning pace, the division provides individualized or small group after school help sessions to fill these gaps in learning. Thus, these students can recapture their confidence in learning English or other languages.
