AnInter view with Lung - Hua Hu,Chinese Program Coordinator at Brown University: An Overview of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language at Brown and in the United States
六十年代,布朗大學初設中文課程於語言學系(Linguistics Department)之下,二十年前東亞系(East Asian Studies)成立,中文課程也就名正言順地立於東亞系之下了。時至今日,雖然還未成立中文系,但是修習中文課程的學生年年遞增,目前有兩百多個學生,開設了四種不同程度的中文課,也有文言文課程和商業中文可供選讀,另外,還會視情況需要,開設華裔班或學術中文課,日後若有機會,也希望能開設口譯課。
