Introduction
Shanghai University is one of the major universities in Shanghai under
the municipal government and one of the 100 key institutions of higher learning
China will construct in the 21st century. It is one of the first
universities granted the permission by the Ministry of Education to enroll
overseas students. Its College of International Exchange began to offer
refresher courses of Chinese language for international students in 1976. At
present, the College is one of the 56 council member units of the Society of
Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and one of the fixed places appointed by
the National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (NOTCFL) to
dispatch Chinese language teachers abroad.
The Chinese as a Foreign Language Teaching and Research Center of the
College of International Exchange has a faculty with high professional quality
and rich teaching experience. There are a total of 27 full-time and part-time
teachers, among whom are three professors and 8 associate professors. Most of
the teachers have obtained the qualification certificate of an instructor of
teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
In 1976 the College admitted some dozens of overseas students and in 2002
the total number of overseas students increased to more than 800. The College
has established a course system combining long-term courses with short-term
courses and diploma with
non-diploma education. In September 2003 the College began to enroll the
overseas students majoring in Chinese Language for the first time. This
undergraduate program aims at cultivating high-level, general-type and
complex-type talents of Chinese language so as to meet the requirements of
different countries in the world in this aspect. This major adopts the credit
system and its courses are divided into three modules, namely, Economy and Trade
Chinese, Chinese Language and Culture and Chinese-English Bilingualism. After
the overseas students complete the required courses and get both the
corresponding credits and the certificate of HSK8 , that is, grade A at the
intermediate level of the Chinese Proficiency Test, they can be granted
permission to graduate and get the graduation certificate of the undergraduate
program. Those who have met the above requirements and passed the thesis defence
