Introduction

Chinese is a Bachelor program taught at Bennington College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

Bennington College’s Chinese course focuses on acquiring the language naturally by joining a community of Chinese language speakers and learners. Students work closely with faculty to design the content, structure, and sequence of their study and practice through their Plan. The program emphasizes creating an identity as a Chinese speaker rather than memorizing vocabulary words and sentence patterns.

Learning is organized around content-based language and culture courses. Students analyze, discuss, and synthesize concepts of deep cultural relevance in China and the broader Chinese-speaking community. They engage with authentic materials across multiple media, including prose, poetry, song, visual arts, and cinema, and they practice both active and passive skills through meaningful verbal and written communication with faculty and other students.

Students explore topics that range from traditional cultural roots such as Confucianism and Taoism to contemporary social and cultural issues such as the cultural revolution, the post-Mao opening, and contemporary poetry, art, music, and cinema. They also express creativity by writing essays and poems, creating videos, and producing performances.
