The Beijing Center is located at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (北京外国语大学) and has been in operation since 1990. Over the past twenty years, 1,250 American university students have studied at the IES Abroad Beijing Center.

Beijing Center Program Overview

IES Abroad Beijing has two programs: the Contemporary Issues Program (CIP) and the Language Intensive Program (LIP).

The Contemporary Issues Program (CIP) is designed for undergraduates with varying levels of Chinese language proficiency. It emphasizes an area studies curriculum and is structured as a "block" program (one block is 4.5 weeks in length), with a total of 3 blocks plus a 2-credit introductory course. The instructor for every course is expected to teach four morning classes every week during the block. Each class is 2.5 hours in length.

The Language Intensive Program (LIP) is designed for students with demonstrated Chinese language proficiency. It is structured as a semester-long program with students taking two area study courses in addition to their daily language instruction. Each course meets for a total of 13 weeks. The instructor for every course is expected to teach three hours (2 X 1.5-hour sessions) in the afternoons every week during the semester.

Courses

Currently, we seek qualified instructors to teach the following courses. The starting dates for the courses are approximations and are subject to change.

CIP – Modern Chinese Economy

The course provides an in-depth understanding of how China's economy has evolved during the past 50 years and its impact on the global economy. Classroom learning experiences are integrated with field research through a mobile classroom.

This course meets daily for 2.5 hours from 10/18 until 11/10 and involves a 14-day travel tour, covering a large territory representing a wide range of China's rural and urban life style. The instructor is only responsible for instruction during the mobile classroom portion of the course, IES will have support staff accompanying the trip to handle travel-related matters.

LIP – Doing Business in China

This course is a general introduction of overall China's business culture with a focus upon recognizing, understanding, and overcoming some culture gaps and business issues in various industry specific American business operations in China. The objective of this class is to help each student gain some up-to-date, realistic perspectives of doing business in China, and some basic strategies in overcoming cultural barriers to help achieve commercial success in China.

This course meets once or twice a week at our center for a total of 3 hours/week from September 1 to December 3 with a break from September 16-October 6.

Compensation

Compensation will be a stipend commensurate with the scholar's academic status and teaching experience.
