Would you mind elaborating a bit on the strengths and weaknesses of the program in Nanjing? I am currently studying Chinese at a university in China and I am very aware of the traditional Chinese teaching method. How do the professors approach teaching at the Center? Do you have lively discussion in class? Or is it primarily lecture-based? Also, what is the average level of Chinese fluency among the American students? What intrigues me about the Center is that it allows you to study specific topics in Chinese instead of just listening, speaking, reading, etc.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
