#12020-21 Academic Year Program 2020-21 學年班

• The academic year program consists of three ten to eleven-week quarters and an optional summer term of nine weeks. Classes are held from Monday to Friday; students can expect to have an individual class as well as three group classes of three to four students each day.
  
  In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and resulting travel restrictions worldwide, ICLP is offering an online track for students who may have difficulties traveling to Taiwan for the 2020-2021 Academic Year Program. Admitted students may choose to enroll in either the Physical Track or Online Track, and must inform ICLP of their decision by the track selection due date.

  Track Selection Due Date:

  2020 Fall Quarter 24 August 2020

  2021 Winter Quarter 25 November 2020

  2021 Spring Quarter 3 March 2021

  
  
  
  PHYSICAL TRACK
  The normal visa procedures for Mandarin language students are currently inapplicable due to the pandemic. Unless they qualify for other types of special entry permits, students will be contacted by ICLP should special entry permits for studying Chinese become available for application. The latest special entry measures for foreign travelers to Taiwan can be found on the website of Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs: https://www.boca.gov.tw/cp-220-5081-c06dc-2.html
  
  Physical track students are required to arrive in Taiwan and begin their 14-day quarantine by the latest arrival date. If unable to obtain entry permits in time, students may choose to enroll in the Online Track instead or withdraw from the program before the track selection due date.
  
  Prior to enrolling at ICLP, students are recommended to have at least two years of language training in Chinese or the equivalence thereof at an intensive program (with overall Chinese language ability at or above the Intermediate-Mid level, TOCFL B1, CEFR B1, or HSK3). Beginners are welcome to apply for our Academic Year Program starting from the Fall Quarter; those who wish to start from the other quarters are accepted once there are enough applicants to form a beginner's class.
  
  Classes at ICLP emphasize oral practice, so students must spend adequate time preparing and reviewing each lesson. While speaking is a core component of the ICLP curriculum, all classes provide comprehensive training in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Coursework may include reading materials, recorded audio materials, written assignments, and speeches.
  
  The ICLP is an immersive Chinese language environment. Textbooks are written in Chinese characters; some are rendered in simplified Chinese to suit students' needs. Students are required to speak exclusively in Chinese at all times, both in the classroom and within the ICLP area.
  
  Students in the academic year program are encouraged to attend three consecutive quarters, although ICLP also accepts applications for one or two quarters. From their second semester onward, students may tailor their coursework to their own interests. Splitting the year into three quarters provides students with the maximum opportunity to explore our diverse course options.
  
  For a more detailed listing of the class offerings and teaching materials at ICLP, please see our Textbooks.

  Note:

  1. ICLP courses are known for their effectiveness. If ICLP is unable to find a class that suits a student's exact level or learning pace, our Instructional Office will modify the student's class module to two one-on-one classes a day so as to facilitate their learning.
  2. One class is 50 minutes.

  
  ONLINE TRACK
  The Online Track curriculum consists of only one-on-one classes to ensure the highest learning quality and prevent any potential technical issues from disrupting a group class. The entire class time would be fully concentrated on one student’s learning instead of being divided among three or four students. For students who choose the Online Track 2, ICLP will adjust their tuition from the online system after the track selection due date.
  
  Should travel restrictions relax later on, Online Track students who wish to switch to the Physical Track may do so only if their online classes have been scheduled between 08:10–12:00 or 13:10–16:00 Taiwan time. The student’s class module and schedule will remain the same after switching to the Physical Track. The student may not switch back to online classes once they begin taking physical classes.
