New class
Dear Students,
Having examined the diverse needs of our students, we have redesigned the second semester of First Year Chinese (Spring 2009) in order to ensure a teaching and learning environment that will address each student's specific needs in a fair and equitable manner. If your ability in speaking and listening is ahead of your reading and writing; for example, if you have studied or lived in China, or if you took more than a year of Chinese in high school, or if you are a heritage learner and speak Chinese at home but can write only a small number of characters, you should consider the following option:
Register for the lecture section CHIN 002 sec.10 (CRN: 40139) for accelerated reading and writing, and one of the following drill sections, CHIN002.30 or CHIN 002.36. We will use the same textbook but place greater emphasis on reading and writing.
Please feel free to contact Chang laoshi (hchang@gwu.edu) to discuss any concerns.

III. Value
Scholarship offerings vary from agency to agency as outlined below:

flights, plus a monthly stipend of NT$30,000 (approximately US$950).

d. LEP program: maximum 1 year.
For any combination of these study programs, the length of the total award for each recipient

If recipients begin studies after the semester/term/quarter starts, their award period will become effective from the month they arrive in Taiwan to matriculate at their individual universities/colleges/Mandarin training centers. Whether beginning in September or later, the LEP award period ends in August although its length may be less than the specified maximum of one year.
In terms of the actual award period for one study program, it will begin from the month that
recipients arrive in Taiwan to matriculate at their intended educational institutions. All awards will end the month their specified award period is completed. However, if recipients graduate, drop out, are expelled from their institutions, or their scholarships are revoked, whichever comes first, the award will be terminated.
V. Eligibility
An applicant must meet all of the following criteria:

documents to the Taiwan representative office, closest to their home countries’ permanent
residence. In principle, the application period is from February 1st through March 31st of each

each year.
Each educational institution may set grading criteria for the minimum academic average for a semester, or may take the common criteria--- 60 out of 100 for undergraduates and 70 for postgraduates. For recipients in grade 3 of their doctoral programs, this evaluation should be done by the way as specified by individual institutions, since systems vary from discipline to discipline, in terms of requirements for session credits and scheduling of dissertation writing.
Recipients will be permanently disqualified from receiving any SPOT awards, effective September of the new academic year, if they fail to achieve a specified minimum academic average for two single consecutive semesters of study.
VIIII. Suspension and Revocation
(I) Suspension
A. Degree Programs:
If a recipient fails to achieve a specified minimum academic average for a semester,
stipends for one month will be suspended in the following semester.

A recipient, who undertakes degree study, must submit the new institution a photocopy of an acceptable English/Chinese language proficiency certificate, if he/she transfers to a new program of study, for which the other language is to be used for instruction.
XI. Scholarship Granting

colleges/Mandarin training centers which the recipients attend, and by a method as specified by the individual institutions.
