MTC's Seasonal (Semester) Program

MTC’s Seasonal Program offers 3-month terms in Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. UNG semester students would attend either Fall or Spring term, but those interested in an Academic Year abroad could attend Fall, Winter, and Spring.

This is a language- focused program with "regular" and "intensive" tracks of Mandarin language, from beginner to advance levels- for 15 hours per week. Highlights include small class sizes (6-10 students), an on-duty teacher for extra help in the library, and optional cultural classes.

Eligibility: students studying Chinese language. 

MTC's Flagship Summer Program

MTC’s intensive program is tailored for Flagship students to enhance proficiency in all aspects of the Chinese language in a condensed period within 8 weeks.

The 8-week program includes 20 hours of Intensive Language Training per week, Monday through Friday. The daily schedule alternates between Class Lectures and Drill Classes to enhance and maximize language learning. 1-1 Personalized Training is included daily and caters to student needs.

For an immersive experience, the program also includes educational experiences such as cultural excursions, cultural classes, professional seminars, company visits, local outings (e.g. Chinese Table Activity), and language partner activities.
Our courses and activities are primarily conducted in Chinese, and the design of our program requires students to be proactive and take the initiative to participate in all activities.

MTC is committed to providing a proficiency-based learning environment for Flagship students to achieve the goal of enhancing Chinese language proficiency and cultivating cultural competence.

Eligibility: Flagship students with Chinese overall proficiency level at or above the intermediate-mid level. MTC’s class levels cover from Intermediate-mid to Advanced level.
