At the end of October ECLC students were invited by the School of International Studies of PKU to join a trip to Xingtai. On this trip students got insights into traditional Chinese culture, medicine, and agriculture, but also steel production. Students were able to join recreational activities, like square dances and acrobatics performanes.
On September 2nd 2024 the winter term 2024/25 at the ECLC has begun. We welcome all new students from Oslo and Würzburg, who will study at PKU during this term.
On July 24th 2024 after a week of final exams the ECLC summer term 2024 at PKU has officially ended. With a ceremony, on which outstanding students were awarded, and a final dinner with all students from Aarhus, Tübingen and Würzburg as well as the full ECLC staff, the term was wrapped.
The summer term 2024 at ECLC has officially begun. The office welcomes students from Aarhus, Würzburg and for the first time also from Tübingen University.
The winter term 2023/24 marks the first term after the beginning of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic in 2019/20 that a group of students from Aarhus and Würzburg is studying at the ECLC again. Students have arrived at the end of February and regular classes have started in March. All operations of the ECLC at PKU are back to normal.
The ECLC uses its own teaching materials, which are constantly updated and revised by its staff in cooperation with the European partner universites. Most recently the teaching materials for the classes Applied Commercial Chinese (实用商务汉语) and Applied Chinese Grammar (实用汉语语法 ) have been updated, typeset and received new covers. The teaching material for Applied Colloquial Chinese 实用汉语口语 has received a rather big update two years ago. Since then some smaller mistakes have been corrected. All teaching materials now are printed in the same format and have received new book covers.
Due to the worldwide outbreak of SARS-Cov-2 in early 2020 the European partner universities have not been able to send their students to Peking University since the summer/spring term 2020. Instead the ECLC office has arranged for online classes, which are taught by the staff in Beijing to students in Germany, Denmark and Norway. While online exercises and classes cannot fully make up for the study experience in China, students may thereby graduate in time and with a good command of Chinese.
After a week of final exams the summer semester 2019 is finally over. We hope all students had a great time and a great learning experience at ECLC, the School of International Studies, Peking University, and in Beijing. The office staff and teachers are very sattisfied with this semester’s students, their attendance in class, as well as participation in activties.
The office hours for the 2018 summer semester have been updated. The programme director (PD) Mu Zhaohui will be in office on the following days:
The annual meeting of the ECLC board was held from 15 to 16 February 2018 at Aarhus University’s Department of Global Studies in Aarhus, Denmark. This year’s participants were: Mette Thunø and Zhang Chun (Aarhus University), Rune Svarverud and Chieh-ting Lin (University of Oslo), and Michael Leibold, Immanuel Spaar and Florian Thünken (University of Würzburg). The finances of the fiscal year 2017/18 were reviewed and accepted and the new budget for the year 2018/19 was approved by all members. Development of the ECLC curriculum and teaching materials as well as further cooperations between the three European institutions were discussed and desided upon.
