We will consider ways students can be prepared for a quality college and university education in China or the US. These include understanding cultural differences and clarifying what is expected of US students attending a university in China or Chinese students attending college in the US. We will consider four areas of preparation: (1) language proficiency; (2) social and cultural awareness; (3) styles of teaching and learning; (4) expectations for university-level article reading and writing. Professor Jen will provide examples to illustrate for the first two topics; Professor DiYanni will do the same for topics (3) and (4). We will also consider how Chinese and American educators and educational officials can cooperate in this preparation.
