【12.10老兵群访谈记录】畅想在线教育- 行业
摘自 老兵群访谈记录 链接 http://www.laobingqun.com/viewthread.php?tid=2691
时间: 12月10日(星期三)下午14:00
地点:老兵MSN群
嘉宾:中文时代创始人曹敏
主持人:英孚教育区域客服经理郑知- 小姐
网络教育现状
郑知敏: 想请问您关于网路教育在大陆市场上- 底有多大?那现在主要有哪些形式的- 路教育?
曹敏:这个问题比较宽泛。因为做网- 教育的有很多种。比如做中小学生家- 的,做语言培训的,做非学历教育的- ,做学历教育的,还有做课程中介的- 企业培训的等等非常多种形式。所以- 统地说网上教育的市场比较难说。一- 个大致的说法,根据艾瑞咨询的报告20- 07年中国的网络教育市场规模已经达到- 了175亿人民币的规模.当然我虽然也做- 育这一块的市场,但是我选择的对象- 并不是中国市场.
郑知敏:想请问您网路教育现在主要有- 几家公司?他们提供的服务为何?他- 们在市场上的情况如何?
曹敏:现在大陆地区网上教育做的好- 有,比如正保教育,他们今年在纽交- 上市,他们主要做一些非学历教育,- 比如会计,自考,律考等,这个市场- 该是比较好的,中国有很多考证族,- 外生活的压力也要求很多人提高自身- 的能力.还有比如做中小学家教的101网- ,中国中小学生的升学压力还是比较- 重的,所以他们的市场应该也不错。 另外还有很多大学也都开设了网络学- ,应该也赚了不少钱的。不过我感觉- 个不大像是真正的网络教育,而是更- 多的利用了学校的名气。其实我对国- 非语言类的网络教育的了解也不是非- 熟悉,所以就只能大致的介绍。我个- 人比较了解的比如英语培训行业,EF教- 育这几年的飞速发展是有目共睹的,- 然EF并不局限于网络教育,它是一个- 合体,实际上对于教育而言,特别是- 言教育,传统的教学模式的优点也是- 显而易见的,所以我并不认为网络教- 会替代传统教育,这两者应该是互补- 。
郑知敏:那请说说看您对于网路教育- 风险投资的情况如何?
曹敏:我想说明一下,我虽然拥有网- 教育平台,并且我的理念是以此为核- ,但并不意味着我只做网络教育或者- 只关注网络教育。我一直认为网络教- 和传统教育是互补的而不是对立的,- 是属于教育范畴。所以针对这个问题- ,我的回答也是针对整个教育行业吧- 教育行业属于一种不用烧很多钱而现- 流较容易获得的行业,但是其缺点是- 很难快速的扩大规模。第一,本质上- 育是属于服务行业的一种,学习服务- 般需要较长的一段时间,所以品牌的- 建立需要扎扎实实的去做服务,做深- 细,品牌的真正确定需要较久的时间- 比如EF集团,发展到现在全球最大的- 人教育机构花了40多年时间了。第二- 说句实在话学习毕竟不是娱乐,很多- 时候学习都是被逼无奈才去学,所以- 算是网络教育,其扩张性肯定没有像- 络游戏等那么快。但是反过来这两特- 点决定了教育行业是比较刚性的,而- 投资相对也是相对安全的,而且有些- 司现金流充沛也不需要投资,比如EF- 所以在最近金融危机的背景下,有不- 少资金关注到教育行业。至于一些投- 的案例,最新的比如今天最新的消息- 软银赛富二轮投资环球天下,而前天- 的消息则是凯雷投资集团向北京昊月- 育集团注资5000万美元,再往前一点英- 联投资安博1.03亿美金。具体到网络教- 行业和对外汉语行业,有个北京的公- 司一德最近完成A轮融资由戈壁及ASI领- ,详细地消息在http://news.chinaventure.com.cn/2/20081205/20642.s- html , 大家有兴趣的话可以比较一下他们对- 外汉的网站和我们的网站. 这应该是对外汉语行业的第一笔投资 最后提一点是,最近半年来教育行业- 所有行业中获得风投资金最多的行业-
郑知敏:那网路教育的发展趋势呢?- 这次的金融危机是否有受到影响呢?
曹敏:网上教育的做为教育的一种形- ,肯定会越来越深入到人们的日常生- 中,事实上据我了解,比如EF集团他- 在欧洲的业务就越来越多地采用网上- 教育的形式。而对外汉语行业也是非- 适用于网络教学,因为由于历史的原- ,海外的华文教育底子是很薄的,总- 体上学生也比较分散,而师资力量又- 中在国内,而网络可以解决这些问题- 至于是否受金融危机的影响,我想那- 是肯定有的,但是肯定比其他行业要- 很多,甚至会有不少机会出来。
郑知敏:所以,您的学校中文时代(Ch- ineseTime)目前主要推的产品是对外汉- 教学,但在中国,大家对英语培训比- 熟悉,对外汉语这个行业了解的却比- 较少,您能给我们大致介绍一下这个- 业吗?
曹敏:对外汉语顾名思义也就是教外- 人中文,面向的学生都是些老外。大- 对这个行业了解得比较少,是因为大- 家都是中国人,没有这个需求。 J 至于具体包括哪些业务,大家可以看- 我们的首页,有非常清晰详细的说明-
郑知敏:可否请您介绍一下这块市场- 需求如何?
曹敏:我对这个市场的看法是,相比- 于其他的教育市场,特别是英语培训- 场,还是比较小的。具体到中国,可- 能也就是上海,北京等大城市形成了- 定的市场规模。但是这个市场的未来- 力巨大,随着未来全球化的进一步深- 入和中国经济的崛起,会有越来越多- 外国人希望能够学习中文,了解中国- 另外中国有庞大的海外华人群体,他- 们的二代,三代也有非常大的一部分- 望学习中文,保持一种和中国文化以- 经济上的联系。有说法说目前海外有- 3000万人在学习中文,夸张一点的说法- 接近一亿人。由于世界历史的原因,- 海外华文教育的底子实际上非常薄的- 海外的学校或者学生想找好一点的教- 或者老师往往都有一定的难度,所以- 这个市场并不仅限于语言培训服务这- 块,其他包括学习教材资料,师资培- ,游学等都有一定的市场潜力可挖。-
郑知敏:听了您刚刚告诉我们的,我- 觉这个市场还真的是个刚起步的市场- 潜力无限。这样说可以吗?
曹敏:是这样的。
郑知敏:想请问一个比较敏感的问题- 您刚刚提到,这是一个刚起步的市场- 特别是在中国大陆也就是上海、北京- 等地都具有一些市场规模,那您为什- 还看好这个市场呢?
曹敏:这个问题问得非常好! 回答这个问题也比较复杂,我想我做- 个市场,首先我看到的是未来的潜力- 海外的市场,海外的市场才是真正的- 大市场。如果纯粹是做中国的市场,- 想我是不会去做的。其次,我们目前- 重点市场确实还是上海本地的市场,- 这是因为第一,我们没有足够的资源- 做海外的市场,第二我们的团队在上- ,从身边的市场做起是最实际的最可- 行的。最后这个市场在上海本地是一- 竞争也非常激烈的市场,目前我们刚- 始做市场推广,我想应该有一定的难- 度。在中国应该没有什么市场是一点- 有难度的吧,不能因为有点难度就不- 了
郑知敏:竞争那么激烈?您可以谈谈- 您们的目前的竞争对手?
曹敏:呵呵,是的. 大家可能不大留意,实际上在北京和- 海,对外汉语的培训学校大大小小的- 有不少。而且由于前景看好,中国的- 大学过去几年也大力发展了对外汉语- 训专业,毕业了大量的对外汉语系毕- 生。我这边招老师,往往投过来的简- 历比计算机类的还多,这在一定程度- 也加剧了竞争。 当然我说的这些竞争都是本地传统学- 的竞争。在上海可以说90%的学校是没- 网上教学的,剩下的10%,其中90%只是- 有一些非常简单的网上教学,比如把- 些音频挂到网上,旁边放一段英文解- 这个样子。这些传统的学校,比较大- 的有美和汉语,爱马德汉语,小的就- 常多了,最小的我见到过的只有2个人- ,2个对外汉语系的学生有了些客户资- ,就自己出来做了。但是所有这些学- 校,都还没有形成像英语教育里面的- 些知名品牌,更不用说是全球性的品- 了。
郑知敏:您可以告诉我们您们的教学- 念有什么独特之处吗?
曹敏:我们和那些传统的学校很不一- 。我们的核心思路是以互联网为核心- 合传统的教学业务。不是替代而是整- 合。 具体地说目前包括3个方面,第一个是- 络自学平台,第二个是网络真人辅导- 课程,第三个线下传统课程。这三个- 面既可以独立,也可以互相组合,给- 们的学生非常大的方便,灵活,也使- 他们的学习更加有效,当然也极大的- 展了我们的生源范围。特别是我们的- 络自学课程,因为和老师使用的教材- 是一致的,可以方便的让学生去预习- 复习做练习。大家知道学习语言的唯- 捷径就是多听多看多练习,更何况很- 多老外对于中文是一点概念都没有的- 我碰到不少老外告诉我,上完老师的- 2个小时之后,上的什么都忘记了。 http://www.chinesetime.cn/learn/ .../en-US/Default.aspx
大家可以看一下这个页面,里面有我- 的一个图,解释了我刚才的说法。我- 花了2年多时间来开发我们的产品,- 括开发了一个国际化网络教育平台,- 为我们要面向各种不同文化和语言的- 群体,同时让有着30多年教育经验,并- 且在美国教过近10年中文的老师带队开- 发了我们自己的一些列教材,这些教- 也全部做成了网络课程。而一般的培- 学校是没有产品这个概念的,招聘一- 些老师,买一些教材,租个地方,做- 广告就可以开始营运了,门槛相对较- 。但是我相信如有没有自己的核心产- 品的话,也就不会有核心的竞争力。- 实上那些传统学校的学生流失率也是- 较高的。
郑知敏:目前对外汉语的网路教育发- 趋势如何?
曹敏:现在大概有这么几类的网络中- 教育网站。第一种是,纯粹的网络自- 平台或者工具,比如中文pod服务,典- 型的网站有chinesepod, 这种类型的网站特点是并没有系统的- 材,而是每天或者每隔一段时间会发- 一个话题,以一段mp3录音为主,配以- 一段英文解释,供订阅者学习。另一- 是纯粹的网上真人辅导网站,这类网- 的特点是直接把skype, msn等即时通讯工具应用到教学上来,- 型的有比如echineselearning等。还有一种- 是既有系统的网络自学教材也有老师- 导课程的,比如我们。当然我们还结- 了线下教育。另外海外有很多比较简- 单的工具类学习网站,比如mandarin-tools- 等,这种更加像是个人网站。
郑知敏:你们目前的主要目标市场如- ?
曹敏:我们的目标市场目前而言是工- 了的老外。我们的产品和服务,包括- 材体系都是围绕着这个目标群体开发- 的。具体到地域而言,是上海的老外-
郑知敏:那您有没有打算开发海外市- 呢?
曹敏:有啊,我也很想马上开发海外- 市场,给法国总统萨科奇之流细细脑- 呵呵,开个玩笑。海外的市场是我们- 二阶段考虑的。可能是我比较保守,- 觉得就算是海外的市场,也有着一个- 循序渐进的过程,第一步可能是地理- 置靠中国比较近的国家,比如东南亚- 区,或者日韩。然后才会是欧美国家- 。当然通过网络自己找过来的老外,- 们不会放弃,实际上我们现有的注册- 户中80%都是海外的学生,付费用户也- 分布在欧美,东南亚都有,但是这样- 来的老外和我说的重点市场开发是不- 样的,这些人是"散户",但是- 教育行业是一个服务行业,整个服务- 有一个比较长期的过程的,所以一般- 对于品牌的选择是有比较高的要求的- ,这就需要我们做精做细,而且是一- 步来,回到海外市场而言,我觉得仅- 凭网络教育还是不够的,必须要和一- 些传统的教育服务结合起来才行,所- 我们才会决定第一步重点开发上海,- 二步才是海外。至于目前的海外市场- 开发还主要是利用网络平台,完善一- 内容,以搜索引擎带来流量为主,另- 我们在一些SNS平台,比如facebook也有- 己的学中文组,还开发了一些实用工- 具,比如送一些祝福语或者流行词组- 工具http://apps.facebook.com/charactergift/
郑知敏:您们所提供的教学平台可以- 于其它网路教学吗?
曹敏:我先再说一下那个facebook上的工- 具,还蛮受欢迎的,我们数据库里面- 得到有不少老外发礼物的时候还附了- 些话,各种语言的都有,不过我也看- 大懂 回到这个平台,那是肯定的,教英语- 还是教中文,或者是其他,都只是一- 选择而已。
郑知敏:那您为什么选择投资在对外- 语而不是英语培训呢?
曹敏:我选择对外汉语有这么几点原- 。
1.基于我对市场的判断,正如我前面- 的,我认为这是一个很有潜力的市场- 。今年是中国改革30周年,30年前谁也- 不到中国经济能发展到今天这样,那- 么30年后呢?所以这是一个有利可期的- 市场,是一个可以作为自己事业投入- 行业。我自认为是一个普通人,和做- 票一样,普通人想赢就要随大势走。- 所以所有的兄弟姐妹都要努力,中国- 经济越强,我的生意也好做。
2.这个行业还没有什么可以垄断市场- 巨无霸企业,或者说至少是响当当的- 企业,如果进入英语行业,虽然市场- 够大,可能也比较容易站住脚,但是- 的对手太强大了,你很难击败他们做- 大。
3.我自己个人喜欢。我希望自己能够- 与到中华复兴的浪潮中,能够推广中- 华文化。而且我也喜欢教育这一块。
另外我给大家讲一个英语教育行业的- 训或者说是启示吧。大家知道在国内- 这么几家比较知名的英语培训企业,- 比如华尔街英语,英孚教育,贝利兹- ,这些国际培训机构的老板都不是英- 人士,而是意大利人,瑞典人和德国- 人。其中是否有巧合我不知道,但我- 可能和欧美人士本身就说英语有关,- 们身在此山中,不知道这里面存在这- 市场。回到中文领域,如果以后中文- 场也是如此,那就比较遗憾了。

Study Mandarin Chinese in Shanghai
When riding the blazingly fast maglev train away from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport, it becomes apparent that China has arrived as a world superpower, and much like the 267.8 mph train that opened in 2003, Shanghai is the city that brought China here. One need only look at the prolific skyscrapers of the Pudong district with its Oriental Pearl Tower and Jin Mao Tower, two of the world’s tallest manmade structures, or Donghai Bridge, the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world, to know that Shanghai is among the world’s most modern cities.
A far cry from the ancient imperial histories of Beijing or Xian, Shanghai is representative of the new China. Located where the Yangtze River Delta and the Pacific Ocean meet, Shanghai, which literally translates as “on the sea,” was historically a small fishing village. Today, Shanghai is the most populated city in the world’s most populated country. The seeds of modern day China were planted throughout Shanghai: birthplace of the founder of the Chinese Republic Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, location of the first congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921, and hometown of basketball superstar and China’s unofficial international ambassador, Yao Ming.
During the late Qing dynasty, Shanghai’s strategic location as the gateway to the rich interior of the Yangtze River, an area which produces the vast amounts of food necessary to feed all of China, made it the envy of international powers looking to trade with China. With imperial power weakening in the mid-19th century, Shanghai became the playground of foreign imperialists, who brought with them industry, Western finance, and modernization, the vestiges of which can still be seen in the architecture of the Bund and the French Concession.
By the time of the Kuomintang Republic, Shanghai was the world’s third greatest financial center behind only New York and London. With the Communist takeover in 1949, Shanghai became largely impoverished due to heavy taxation from the central government as well as the purging of “bourgeois elements.” After the economic reforms of the late 20th century, Shanghai has led China’s economic resurgence with a GDP that dwarfs that of all other regions except for Hong Kong.
Shanghai is a potent political and cultural force as well. Former Chinese president Jiang Zemin was first the mayor of Shanghai. The city served as the breeding ground for the right-leaning “Shanghai-clique” which was fiercely critical of the Cultural Revolution and highly influential in the recent reforms. Even with its modernist tendencies, Shanghai is a bastion of traditional culture with famous schools of the arts such as the Songjiang School, the Huating School, and the Shanghai School. However, Shanghai’s most famous cultural school still may be the Chin Woo Athletic School of Wushu created by China’s most famous modern martial arts hero, Huo Yuanjia.
Despite its cosmopolitan character, Shanghai will seduce you with its intimacy. Whether by taking in a scenic view of the historic Bund from a boat ride along the Huangpu river or savoring the flavor explosion of Shanghai’s famous xiao long bao, (“little dragon buns”), Shanghai will leave a lasting impression.
To live and study in Shanghai is to have your fingers at the pulse of modern China. More than anything, one comes away with a greater understanding of the nation’s recent past and bright future. As Shanghai races into the 21st century, the rest of the country is hitching along on her coattails. We hope you come along for the ride. Don’t blink or you might miss it!

Many foreign friends of mine are complaining to me that Chinese is so hard to learn: the ridiculously difficult writing system, the confusing four tones, the extensive system of measure words, so a lot of things to memorize… It seems that I should thank God just for being born Chinese. Is Chinese really that hard to learn as a foreign language?
Actually, I don’t think so. Chinese grammar is much simpler if compared to that of the European languages. English speakers sometimes complain that languages like Spanish have a complicated grammar (masculine and feminine genders, verb conjugations, etc), whereas the Chinese language has little or no bound morphology and there are no grammatical paradigms to memorize. Each word has a fixed and single form: verbs do not take prefixes or suffixes showing the tense or the person, number, or gender of the subject. Nouns do not take prefixes or suffixes showing their number or their case. I’m not trying to tell you that Chinese has no grammar; what I means is that due to the lack of inflectional morphology, Chinese grammar is mainly concerned with how words are arranged to form meaningful sentences. Plus each Chinese character pronounced in one syllable, that’s why when watching Chinese movies, you find that a few words can be translated into a syllable mapping in the English subtitle.
Probably, you would say that the above is far from enough to convince you; okay, I’ve got one more encouraging and authoritative evidence for you. A couple of days ago I fortunately came across one piece of inspiring news when reading Beijing Times: Less than 1,000 Chinese characters allow you to read 90% of the current Chinese publication, according to a survey conducted by the Education Ministry and Language Commission of China. The findings of this survey is claimed to be based on 900 million characters used in more than 8.9 million files chosen from newspapers, magazines, the Internet and television. Nowadays, the Chinese media is using fewer characters, and to understand 90 percent of the content in publications, you need only to know about 900 of around 50,000 individual characters that are made up of Written Chinese. On the other hand, how many words are there in English? Almost 100,000 and it’s still on the rise. One important reason for this is that Chinese characters, unlike English words, are mainly to represent meaning, not pronunciation, and what’s more, many characters are archaic and some found only once in the whole history of the written language, such as the names of people or places. An average Chinese university graduate may know only about 6,000.
Now, would those all above relieve you a little bit in your Chinese language study? Hope so, but do not misinterpret this: I am not in any intention to convince you that Chinese is very easy to learn or other languages like English are much harder; what I mean is that Chinese is really not that difficult as you imagined or heard about, it’s just different from your mother tongue, but difference does not necessarily mean difficulty, right? And that hard Chinese idea won’t be of any help in your study. Trust yourself, once that fear factor is overcome, the language is actually not that hard to learn. Good luck with your Chinese language study.

It Cannot Hurt To Learn Chinese
It today's day and age, many people are learning a second, third or even forth language. There are probably many reasons to learn languages other than your own. Some people just love learning about foreign cultures, and therefore they choose to study a foreign language to help them understand a culture even further. Others learn a language such as Spanish or Chinese to help prepare them for a career that they hope to have or for preparation to travel to a foreign land.
If you are thinking of starting to learn another language, regardless of your age or of other languages you have learned, you should consider learning Chinese. There are many great reasons to learn Chinese. One of the biggest reasons that I, as an artist, loved learning Chinese was because of how artistic and beautiful to the eye the written Chinese language is. When I entered my first Chinese class I could not get over how intriguing and wonderful it looked on the chalk board. In fact, as the weeks of the class went on and I was getting frustrated by my lack of ability, it was the physical beauty of written Chinese that kept me going.
Another great reason to start learning Chinese is that the nation and people of China are undoubtedly rising up to be some of the world's most powerful people. Business, travel and trade are all increasing with China, so it will not hurt you to start learning Chinese. In fact, Chinese could very well become the next world language and be used with the frequency of English. If you are ever considering international business or trade, or if you just like to travel, then consider seriously how learning Chinese could be of benefit to you.
There are many ways to actually start learning Chinese. You can purchase books at a local bookstore that will give you the basics to start learning, or you can even buy video or dvd sets that will help you learn. An even better way to learn Chinese, however, is to enroll in a Chinese class at a local college or university. Getting in the classroom and being surrounded by other students might be the best way to really learn the Chinese language. So take some time to research the opportunities for Chinese that exist in your area. Or perhaps you have a Chinese friend that will agree to give you personal lessons. Even better.
Realize that learning another language such as Chinese can be fun and is definitely valuable for anyone. Start the process today and you won't be sorry.

TAXI
The most common way to travel around Shanghai is the taxi; it is clearly the most comfortable way of travelling. Taxis are plentiful (50,000 taxis running in Shanghai City) and are available 24 hours a day. Compared to other large international cities, taxi fares in Shanghai are amazingly cheap.
Travelling to a close area would cost less than 15 RMB. Note that there is no tipping in taxi.
Usually taxi drivers do not speak English so be sure to have your destination written in Chinese.
All taxi drivers will provide a receipt showing your place of origin and your destination if requested. Always ask for a taxi receipt ("fapiao" in chinese), as it will help you trace any lost items if you leave them in a taxi.
Like any big city, be prepared for an influx of traffic at the morning and evening rush hour:
it can be difficult to get a taxi during this time.
The starting price for the meter is 11 RMB (14 RMB after 11pm) and it increases every 500 m travelled after 3km.
SUBWAY
The underground is very clean, modern and inexpensive (from 3 to 6 RMB according to destination) but gets very crowded especially at weekends. Maps, announcements, and directions are all provided in both Chinese and English, making the subway very user-friendly for foreign visitors. The subway starts operation from around 5am to 11pm, depending on line and direction.
Shanghai has 8 metro lines (others are underconstruction), while the underground metro system is the fastest and most efficient way to move around the city, be warned that it is quite an experience for a foreigner. There is a complete absence of public etiquette in entry/exit customs here, so be prepared for some rude pushing and shoving as the train doors open and close.

BUS
There are more than 1,100 bus lines in Shanghai. Buses. If you want to travel for a cheap price, the bus is the most common way. Buses run every 10-15 minutes from 4:30 am to midnight. There are plenty of buses and conveniently go to anywhere of Shanghai, but there are often packed to the hilt and at times, impossible to board especially at 8:00 -9:00 am and 5:00-6:00 pm when people are going to work or back to home.
The bus system in Shanghai is like a spider web. Though it may take a lot of time, you can go from one place to another without many problems on a bus. The bus fees range from 2 RMB – 3 RMB per bus ride inside the city. You can either pay in cash or use the Shanghai Public Transportation Card.
WALKING http://www.chinesetime.cn learn chinese
Walking in downtown Shanghai is one of the most exciting experiences. Shanghai is famous for its ancient alleys and buildings. To find these rare attractions, walking is the most interesting way. Though it is impossible to tour all of Shanghai by foot, several parts of downtown are worthwhile for a walk. Several buildings from the early 20th century still stand in downtown Shanghai, but are rarely publicized. Therefore, a walk in the streets of downtown Shanghai would provide one with the opportunity to observe these buildings as well as experience the true culture of Shanghai.
There are plenty of sidewalks where pedestrians can stroll at leisure. Watch out for loose tiles which are difficult to see at night.
Be careful: pedestrian crossing offers no safety; cars will not stop for you. Try to cross at traffic lights, remembering that traffic can turn right at any time regardless of a red light.
Click here to see the Shanghai Map
The best way to travel in Shanghai is to buy the "Shanghai Public Transportation Card" operated by SMTCC.
It's 30 RMB at any subway station, and at the cashier you can add money all up to 999 RMB. Unfortunately the card will not give a discount like the Hongkong MTR Octopus Card, but it will allow you to avoid the often long queues in front of the ticket booths.
Don't loose the card - there is NO code or anything to prevent others to use it. It is valid for ferries, taxis, trains and buses. Some bus lines still require cash, so you need a few RMB in your pocket.
For taxi, remember to show your card to the driver before you start the ride in the taxis, not all have this function up and working.

A growing interest for the chinese
A growing interest for the language
http://www.chinesetime.cn learn chinese
More and more foreigners are showing interest in learning Chinese
as China increases exchanges with the outside world.
More than 9,600 foreign students from 113 countries came
to Shanghai to learn Chinese in 2005.
It is estimated that the number of foreigners coming to China
to learn the language over the last few years has maintained an
average annual growth rate of 35 percent.
Universities welcome Western http://www.chinesetime.cn learn chinese
students for the extra revenue
they bring. Courses usually
cost about US$1000 a semester.
Accommodation costs around
US$10 a day.
In Shanghai, there are more
than 10 universities offering
Chinese language courses.
So, the problem for many
foreigners is to select one
between all these universities. http://www.chinesetime.cn learn chinese
Students are usually given a placement test before the course
starts and administered an HSK upon completing the course.
Classes are generally in the morning Monday through Friday,
8:30-12:30. Intensive classes have an additional 2 hours a day from 2-4. Optional classes are available, including tai-chi, calligraphy, HSK prep, etc.
Students are predominantly from Asia: Korean (60-85%), Japanese (15-35%), Thai or Indonesian. Westerners are a definite minority.
There is no official interaction or activities between short term
students and chinese students on campus.

Genes may help people learn Chinese
Genes may help people learn Chinese
All babies can grow up speaking any language, but now researchers have uncovered evidence that genes may in fact play a part in learning so-called "tonal languages", such as Chinese.
Subtle pronunciation differences in tonal languages can radically change the meaning of words, which may be one reason why such languages are so hard to learn for speakers of non-tonal languages like English. So for a non-native Chinese speaker, to enquire after the health of someone's mother might easily result in a query about the wellbeing of their horse.
And now it appears that there may after all be something in our genes that affects how easily tonal languages can be learned. Such are the findings of Dan Dediu and Robert Ladd of Edinburgh University, UK, who have discovered the first clear correlation between language and genetic variation. http://www.chinesetime.cn
Using statistical analysis, the pair showed that people in regions where non-tonal languages are spoken are more likely to carry different, more recently evolved forms of two brain development genes, ASPM and Microcephalin, than people in tonal regions. Dediu and Ladd accounted for geography and history, and the gene differences remained. http://www.chinesetime.cn
Bernard Crespi, an evolutionary biologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, says the results "open up a whole new field of http://www.chinesetime.cn
inquiry, that links language evolution with adaptive molecular evolution and brain function."
No genetic advantage http://www.chinesetime.cn
Since both genes function in brain development, Dediu and Ladd propose that they may have subtle effects on the organisation of the cerebral cortex, including the areas that process language. http://www.chinesetime.cn
It is already known that brain anatomy differs between English speakers who are good at learning tonal languages and those that find it harder, says Ladd, who now wants to see whether similar differences can be found between individual carriers of the ASPMand Microcephalin variants. http://www.chinesetime.cn
A remaining puzzle is the role of natural selection. It has been argued that the newer variants of these two genes are positively selected, but so far nobody has been able to show how they might provide a selective advantage. http://www.chinesetime.cn
Dediu and Ladd do not think the genes' link to tonality could be the answer. "There is absolutely no reason to think that non-tonal languages are in any way more fit for purpose than tonal languages," says Ladd. "Chinese society developed advanced technology, politics and philosophy with a tonal language just as successfully as roughly contemporary eastern Mediterranean societies with non-tonal languages." http://www.chinesetime.cn
But Crespi speculates that the lower complexity of non-tonal languages could confer a selective advantage: "Adoption of a simpler language might be 'easier', allowing for faster acquisition of language or other brain functions in early childhood. These ideas could be tested."

how to improve your chinese listening?
How to improve your Chinese Listening? This question (or near question) is often asked by students who are new in China (and of course any other Chinese speaking country). In many cases the speed of the Chinese they are now hearing is faster than greased lightening on a long run and they just can't deal with it. The accent and speed they are accustomed to from their teachers is nowhere to be found, and this leads to confusion, self-doubt. So, as Chinese teachers we get repeatedly asked the simple question "How to I improve my Chinese Listening ability?" The answer to this question is a frustratingly simple 3 steps. "Listen lots!" "React to what you hear" "Repeat!" Do this regularly and listening comprehension will increase dramatically and quickly. Ok….let's look at these in turn Listen Lots to improve your listening you need to listen to natural Chinese lots…as much as you can. Sure you can listen to Chinese tapes and follow along with Made for Chinese CDs, but these rarely match real language in terms of speed. People learning Chinese (or any language) need to get as much natural speed input as they can. Great ways to do this include: TV or radio news broadcasts, Net based audio (podcasts, audio files, video), joining local clubs, volunteering, watching Chinese movies, TV, going clubbing, starting a club. React to what you hear Listening isn't enough. A student needs to react to what they have just listening to. This reaction allows the communication to continue in its natural way. The reaction is what allows a student to confirm that they heard correctly, understood correctly, and could respond appropriately to the situation. Sometimes this is as simple as continuing a conversation by responding to a question or trying to elicit opinions/information/ideas on the topic. Other times it may involve writing: summaries, opinions, diary entries, reviews can be used to respond to what you've heard. Repeat really simple here. Don't it once? Great, now do it again…and again…and again on a regular schedule, in different situations and on different topics. Listening well involves more than just understanding the words. It involves understanding the context (the place) and being able to understand the language being used in context. In the end what really matters for improving Chinese skills overall, not only Chinese Listening skills is practice and use. Improving language skills always requires 2 acts 1) getting input and 2) reacting to the input (output). You need to get language into your brain and then you need to get the language out to be heard and read by others. So, if you or your students want to improve Chinese Listening skills, just follow the three simple steps. Listen, Respond, Do it again.

As China Goes, So Goes ... 中国好,世界才好
over the last 30 years, China has hitched its economy to the industrial world, exporting cheap goods to the United States and other developed nations, building up an enormous trade surplus that will hit about $400 billion this year. As those industrial economies sputter, China is now in a position to pick up some of the slack: selling more of its own goods at home and buying more from the rest of the world.
To get China’s consumers to spend, the government will need to spend more at home, investing in public works projects and providing more social benefits — including health insurance and pensions — so its citizens don’t feel they have to save so much for a rainy day.
This is clearly in Beijing’s interest, though China’s leaders are still clinging to the old export strategy.
China is already feeling the impact of a slower world economy. Both economic growth and export growth have braked sharply. The slowdown threatens job creation, direly needed to absorb millions of rural Chinese seeking employment in the cities.
Over the summer the Chinese central bank put an end to its short-lived policy of allowing the yuan to gradually appreciate against the dollar, a policy aimed at reducing inflation that would also raise the price of Chinese exports. Last week, the Chinese government announced that it would increase its rebates on taxes charged to exporters — giving them a further boost.
But trying to capture a bigger share of shrinking markets in the United States, Europe and Japan — just as they tip into recession — won’t provide China much of an economic lift. What it will do is contribute to the slowdown in the rest of the world by hogging demand. China would get much more bang for the buck if it focused on stimulating its own domestic markets for goods and services.
Given the desperate mess Washington has made of its own financial system, few countries are eager to take American advice these days. After years of Congressional China-bashing, Beijing may be especially resistant.
Still, it is in China’s interest to change. China has grown 13-fold over the last 30 years, thanks to hypercharged exports and white hot investment. But its economy is lopsided. Consumer spending amounts to little over a third of economic production, probably the lowest share in any country in the world. And its overwhelming dependence on exports has made it overwhelmingly vulnerable to changes in world demand.
The government in Beijing, which is running a huge budget surplus, also has money to spare.
The government has announced some measures to fuel domestic spending —including a tax cut on home purchases to revive an ailing housing market and a vague plan to invest in public works. But it must do more to unlock the savings of its citizens and encourage them to spend.
To do that it needs to rebuild the system of social insurance that fell apart when state-owned industries collapsed and were replaced by the private sector. Government investment in things like health care, education and pensions would help develop China’s middle class and its domestic market.
A boost to consumer spending would undoubtedly help China weather the economic storm. But by raising Chinese imports and reducing its dependence on exports, it would also help the rest of the world.
随着世界坠入衰退的深渊,中国的经济政策将影响到其他国家以何种方式衰退。
在过去的30年中,中国经济搭上了工业的世界班车,它向美国和其他发达国家出口价廉的物品,并建立了规模庞大的贸易顺差,而今年的顺差将达到4000亿美元。随着工业经济陷入低迷,中国处在一个接受不景气的新位置上:在国内卖得更多,从国外买得更多(而非出口更多,内需更少——译者注)。
为了让中国消费者消费,政府需要在国内开支,投资于公共建设工程,并提供更多的社会福利——包括医疗保险和养老金——这将让市民不会再为不测而存钱。
尽管中国领导人依然倾向旧的出口策略,但上述的方向显然是北京方面的重心所在了。
中国已经感受到了放缓的世界经济的凉意。经济增长和出口增长都有大幅度的下滑。下滑的经济威胁到了就业形势,目前就业迫切需要吸纳数百万在城市打工的农民工。
今年夏天,中国央行结束了人民币对美元逐步升值的短期政策,这一政策旨在减缓导致中国出口产品价格上涨的通货膨胀。上周,中国政府宣布对出口企业增加退税——旨在给予他们进一步的激励。
但是,试图从萎缩的美、欧、日市场——如今正在陷入衰退——中占有更大的份额并不会给中国带来多大的经济收益。现在要做的是,通过激活需求来挽救全球经济的下滑。如果中国把重点放在激活本国内需和服务方面,那么中国会收获明显的降压效益。
当下,在由华盛顿自己金融系统制造的、令人绝望的混乱中,极少数国家会采取美国的建议。在中国经历了多年的国会的猛击之后,北京可能更有抵抗能力。
中国的兴趣依然是改变。在过去的30年间,受惠于快速出口与国外投资热的影响,中国经济增长了13倍,但是经济结构却不平衡。消费支出金额很少,只占经济产出的1/3,可能是世界上消费支出比最少的国家。它对出口过度的依赖使它很容易受到世界需求变化的冲击。
手中握有大笔预算顺差的北京中央政府,也有钱进行支付。
政府宣布了一些旨在刺激内需的措施——包括减少房产交易税的征收,以拯救患病的房地产市场,以及针对公共事务的、模糊的投资计划。但是要撬开市民储蓄,鼓励他们消费还需要更多措施。
为了达到目的,政府需要重建社会保证体系,以保证国有工业崩溃时的个人安全,并代替私人部门职能。政府在医疗保障、教育和养老方面的投资,将帮助中国的中产阶级和内需市场的发展。
对消费支出的刺激无疑将帮助中国平安渡过金融风暴。但是增加中国进口、减少其对出口的依赖性,也将对世界各国有所助益。
