Beijing International Chinese College

So you’ve decided that you want to study abroad in China. Awesome! You are getting ready to embark on one of the greatest adventures of your life!

Now what?

Now you start thinking about not just the educational opportunities that’ll open to you when you get to China, but what kinds of recreational activities you are going to take advantage of in your Beijing international Chinese college. Remember—you aren’t just going to China to sit in a classroom and learn the language. You are there to have fun, explore new experiences, and broaden your horizons—starting with meeting new friends and getting those adventures going!

Depending on which Beijing international Chinese college that your program will center on you will have the option to participate in so many different activities and experiences you may never want to leave.

Some of the amazing things that you can see and do while studying at the Beijing international Chinese college include:

• Organized trips around China to see the indigenous plants and animals.
• Community service projects that let you network, make friends, and make a difference all at once.
• Sports such as basketball and volleyball.
• Meeting and interacting with governmental officials, celebrities, and ambassadors.
• Explore a zoological park to see rare species of animals that you can’t see anywhere else.
• Learn to cook food popular in China.

Of course your main focus at the Beijing international Chinese college will be to strengthen your skills with the Chinese language. The universities that you will have the opportunity to attend through Next Step China’s study abroad programs all offer more than just your lessons in Chinese, though.

Why not learn about engineering? Do you want to dabble in Chinese literature? It may surprise you that taking a class in something other than the language can actually help you learn Chinese faster. This is because you’ll be listening to the instructor and the other students teaching, answering questions, and interacting in the language and you are going to have to figure it out. Just like you did when you were learning English!

If going to a Beijing international Chinese college isn’t exactly what you are looking for when wanting to learn Chinese in China you may want to consider Next Step China’s Intensive Tutoring program. While you will still have some traditional instruction, your tutors will get you out of the seat and out into the people for a lot of your day. You will get the chance to really immerse yourself in the language by listening to “real people” communicate rather than just going through your lessons and talking to your tutors.

All of the experiences that you have in China will help you learn on a level that you couldn’t imagine if you just stayed in one place. Imagine being able to read the ancient writings describing the beautiful historical sites around China, or even just really understanding what is in all those boxes and containers in your favorite Chinese market.

Studying abroad with Next Step China is about more than just getting the unique chance to go to a Beiing international Chinese college. It’s about diving head first into enriching yourself!
