After finishing the summer and fall terms at Cornell, students have the language skills to benefit fully from a Chinese linguistic and cultural environment. FALCON’s full-year students spend their last semester in Beijing, where they continue to improve their skills and put them to effective use in daily life. In Beijing, students continue to attend four small-group classes with FALCON-trained Chinese language teachers; these classes include comprehensive training to develop reading, writing, and speaking proficiency, a course in newspaper reading and translation, as well as a course in advanced listening skills. In addition, a variety of activities outside the classroom, including field trips and guest lectures, are provided. Spring FALCON is scheduled at the School of International Studies at Peking University.
