The summer camp was the sixth one held by the Institute. In fact, the summer camp was a kind of selective course opened by the institute for all other departments’ students of the university. The task-oriented textbook used in the activity is the “Hanliu Hanyu”, which was researched and developed by the institute itself. As the textbook has an incomparable advantage for local Chinese learners, it has been warmly received by the university students. Some Chinese department students as well as students from other departments joined in the activity.
The summer camp activity was composed of four-period classroom learning in the morning and group language practice in the afternoon. Four students from elementary, intermediate and advanced classes constituted a group and they set up a plan and completed the practice together. The practice was made up of the lecture content in the morning and the language section distributed by the Institute, such as drawing survival maps, buying train tickets, getting a refund for a ticket, recording language usage in the process of taking the train, interviewing taichi practitioners in the park, understanding taichi’s function, visiting senior’s recreation center, and getting familiar with Chinese retired seniors’ life. Two weeks later, they improved a lot, not only learning how to speak practical and authentic Chinese, but also practicing what they have learnt and experienced of the colorful life in Beijing.
