Chinese Language Opportunity

GWU is in the process of applying for the establishment of a "Confucius Institute" to increase opportunities for Chinese language learning in the DC area. While most of the 60 Confucius Institutes established in the U.S. partner with elementary or secondary schools to achieve this purpose, the GWU Confucius Institute proposes to focus on providing inexpensive Chinese language instruction that would be particularly targeted at graduate students and area professionals (in government, business, the policy community, etc.). These language courses would be non-credit courses with a nominal fee, and would be offered in the evenings or on weekends.

If you might be interested in taking Chinese language classes under this program, we would appreciate it if you would fill out this survey, which attempts to gauge the level of interest in this initiative. Please pass this survey along to anyone else you know who might be interested.
