New Times International” has been providing placement services to foreigners in China since 2002. The company has successfully placed over a 1000 teachers and volunteers in schools all over China and enjoys one of the best reputations in the business.
The aim of the program is to give participants the opportunity to have a more in depth look at distinctive aspects of Chinese traditional culture than a tourist would usually have.
This is for our beginner’s group. Classes will cover the basic concepts required to survive and be operational in China. This is a good course for people who are absolute beginners or that have a few notions of the language but no proper schooling in grammar/sentence structure.
The participants will be picked up by the shuttle service of an airport hotel. This hotel will serve as our rally point until all participants have arrived. They will be greeted by two professional English speaking staffs and shown to their accommodations. This first night at the hotel will also provide an opportunity for a mini introduction/orientation.
Spend one or two days touring the Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing
A bus directly from the hotel to the lodge for activities.
Take 60 minutes by Express train from Beijing to Shijiazhuang city after activities at Beijing.
Around 3 hours of classes daily. This gives the participants a chance to explore the surroundings, review what they’ve studied, and relax.
Days 3 & 4 of each program will be more theoretical and provide the participants with historical perspectives of the subjects at hand as well a few Chinese words and an introduction the phonetics of pinyin.
The program will move on to become more practical starting day 5 with limited amount of theory or only where necessary.
Visit one of the attractions next to the lodge. Possibilities include TaiHangShan Mountains, Wutai Shan, the oldest stone bridge in the world as well as a monastery.
Could move venue altogether to a bigger more cosmopolitan city – needs to be talked about but some people who have never been to China before could find it too restrictive in terms of food and alternative free time options. Or do some choice of restaurants/ food would keep them satisfied.
Each day will have 2 hours small exposition (for calligraphy, painting,paper cutting) or performance (dancing, taichi, kung fu and Tea service skill show) in presence of other experts in the field .
Evening Programs or additional activities can be added to better introduce aspects of Chinese culture to the participants. This could include green tea ceremony, movie nights, special lectures, KTV, Chinese songs, making dumplings, games, fan dancing and so on.
Overall, the program will feature at least 30 hours of instruction.
A certificate to successful participants will be issued on completion of the course.
This package is all-inclusive with the cost covering the participants’ basic needs from pick-up time to drop-off time (food, transportation, lodging, classes, and materials). Alcoholic beverages are not included in the fee.
