China's most developed metropolis is a wondrous, neon-light-filled mix of East and West. Perched on the banks of the Huangpu River and the East China Sea, Shanghai is China's largest city by population, boasting over 23 million residents. Once built on profits from the opium trade, today it's described as the showpiece of mainland China's booming economy. Modern skyscrapers stand alongside traditional Shikumen- style buildings, and Western customs mingle with ancient Chinese traditions, creating fascinating contradictions to explore. The city has seen massive redevelopment over the past 20 years and the new financial district of Pudong is home to some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. Shanghai's urban centers are connected by elevated light rails, the world's first commercial high-speed Maglev train, and 13 subway lines. Shanghai is known for its long history of foreign influence, fashion, and economic prowess, and aims to become a global financial and shipping hub by the year 2020.

She has also promoted educational programs in Hangzhou, China and New Delhi, India.
Jia Ma holds a master's degree from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at East China Normal University. Originally from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, she worked at Willamette University as a language assistant before joining CIEE in fall 2011.
Established in 1951, East China Normal University (ECNU) is one of China's key institutions of higher learning and the first to specialize in teacher education. ECNU is nationally known for its Chinese language and literature program. The university enrolls more than 26,000 fulltime students, including 3,700 international students, at its two campuses. The CIEE Study Center is located along the bank of the Liwa River on its downtown Putuo campus, known as the "Garden University" for its beautiful grounds.
Participants select one of three housing options prior to arrival.
Campus Residence Hall with CIEE Roommate
The Campus Residence Hall is a five-story facility located on the ECNU campus and has a lobby with 24- hour security and laundry facilities. There is a student computer room and study lounge on every other floor, as well as a kitchen and bathrooms on each floor. The residence hall is a 10-minute walk from the CIEE Study Center, and is within walking distance to a light rail and other public transportation.
Campus Residence Hall with Chinese Roommate
This option is located in the same residence hall as described above, but study abroad students are paired with a Chinese student from ECNU. The Chinese roommates are required to speak only Chinese, so this option is recommended for students who wish to live in a more intensive Chinese language environment while remaining nearby other program participants.
Meals are not included in these two housing options and are the responsibility of the student. Meals are available in the campus cafeterias at a moderate price.
Chinese Host Families
Chinese host families are located 15 - 45 minutes of campus, by foot or public transportation. Students have their own room in the host family apartment and share the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
Students are invited to most family meals, but should budget for their own lunches, some weekend meals, and most meals during group field trips and individual travel. Chinese family members speak Chinese only. This option is highly recommended for students who want to live in an entirely Chinese language environment and to make rapid progress in Chinese language.
The CIEE Shanghai staff strives to match each student based on his or her first preference, not only in terms of their personal lifestyle preferences but also academic, cultural and personal goals.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Shanghai even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
A mandatory, weeklong orientation session, conducted in Shanghai at the beginning of the program, introduces you to the country, culture, and academic program, as well as provides necessary logistical information about adapting to life in Shanghai. You will also take your language placement exams at this time to determine your appropriate Chinese language level. Required and optional workshops and local excursions are led by CIEE staff. You'll also meet individually with the center director and Chinese language director, as appropriate, to finalize course registration and preview assigned materials for your required courses. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program, including required monthly program meetings.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. Rooms in the campus residence hall are equipped with broadband ADSL wireless Internet access. Host family homes also have wireless or cable Internet access. The CIEE Study Center has wireless access and you will also be able to access the ECNU campus wireless network. A limited number of computers are available for use at no charge in the CIEE student library or at nearby Internet cafés for a low hourly fee.
A variety of field trips complement classroom work, including visits to local Chinese companies and factories, government agencies, museums, art exhibitions, and plays. Other group cultural activities may include an acrobatics show, river cruise along the Bund, a Chinese and CIEE student talent show, international student sporting events, and group meals with Chinese roommates and families. A number of optional, extracurricular classes, including Chinese cooking, calligraphy, martial arts, music, and mahjong are offered at no additional cost to students.
The study abroad program will expose you to locations outside of Shanghai. You'll take a day trip to nearby traditional "water towns" like Wuzhen and Zhujiajiao, with their narrow cobbled lanes, stone bridges, and canals, and on an overnight trip to historic cities like Suzhou and Hangzhou. In Chinese there is a proverb, "As above there is Heaven, so on earth there are the two beautiful cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou." Suzhou has a rich history of over 2,500 years and is dubbed "Venice of the East" for the many canals of its old town. Less than 30 minutes away from Shanghai by high-speed train, Suzhou is famed for its classical gardens and silk industry. When Marco Polo visited Hangzhou in the 13th century, then the southern terminus of the Grand Canal, he described the city as "beyond dispute the finest and the noblest in the world." Today Hangzhou, less than an hour away from Shanghai by high-speed train, is the capital of Zhejiang Province and is renowned for the natural beauty of its mountains and the West Lake, and is also known for its textile and hi-tech industries.
The cost of all day trips, overnight trips, and weekend and weeklong field trips are included in the study abroad program fee. All field trips are facilitated by fulltime CIEE staff and language instructors.
The weekend field trip provides you the opportunity to learn about local culture and traditions in a different part of China. Previous destinations have included but are not limited to the following:
Hangzhou(杭州), formerly known as Hangchow, is the capital and largest city of Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. It is governed as a sub-provincial city. As a core city of the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou is 180 kilometers away Shanghai, and Hangzhou has great contribution to Zhejiang's economy. It is one of the most renowned and prosperous cities of China for the last 1,000 years. As the same time, Hangzhou has beautiful natural scenery. The West Lake is the most well-known attraction in China.
Meaning "Southern Capital," Nanjing was the seat of power for Imperial China in the Six Dynasties and is remembered as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Today Nanjing is regarded as one of China's most important commercial centers, as well as one of the most livable cities in China. Just an hour from Shanghai by high-speed train, Nanjing prides itself on maintaining the atmosphere of a traditional Chinese city, with its classical temples and 600-year-old city wall, while being a base for hundreds of multinational corporations and many Fortune 500 companies. The city is also home to the Ming Mausoleum, Presidential Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, built to commemorate those who died during the Japanese invasion of the city in 1937 when it was the capital of the Republic of China.
Yangzhou, known as a city of gardens and alleys, is located on a plain north of the Yangtze River. Yangzhou is a prefecture-level city in central Jiangsu province (江苏省) in eastern China. Its present name means "Rising Prefecture". Yangzhou is proud to incorporate the ancient Chinese architecture, art, culture, traditional gardens and parks, cuisine, leisure, and commerce in a beautiful mixture of modernity with its rich 2,500 years of history. Sitting on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou has been one of the wealthiest of China's cities, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, painters, and scholars. Yangzhou borders the provincial capital of Nanjing to the southwest, Huai'an to the north, Yancheng to the northeast, Taizhou to the east, and Zhenjiang across the river to the south.
Every semester the CIEE Study Center offers three to four concurrent weeklong fieldtrips that are designed to go beyond tourism. Each trip explores a specific theme related to the learning goals of each program. You are expected to complete pre- departure readings and assignments, attend classroom lectures, films, and discussions before and during the trip. You may select any trip that best meets your individual educational learning goals. Since enrollment is limited to maintain quality and facilitate cultural immersion, participation on any particular field trip is not guaranteed and is based on total program enrolment and other factors.
Hong Kong is one of the world's leading international financial centers, with one of the highest per capita income in the world, and it is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. A major capitalist service economy known for its low taxation and free trade, sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred from the United Kingdom to China in 1997, ending 156 years of British colonial rule. Now one of China's two Special Administrative Regions, Hong Kong retains different political and economic systems from mainland China and is characterized by a culturally diverse and international population. This field trip includes visits to companies and lectures on business development and industry in Hong Kong, as well as a city tour, night cruise in Victoria Harbor, and a local Daoist temple known for its fortune telling. This field trip is most appropriate for students majoring in international business, finance and economics
It is often said that some of the most traditional forms of Chinese culture, religious practices, intellectual and cultural values, and creative arts are best preserved on the island of Taiwan. At the same time, Taiwan maintains a thriving civil society, with its democratic political system, free press, uncensored Internet, and capitalist economy. Its capital, Taipei, is an international city with some six million residents, and its popular music, film, and television are widely influential throughout East Asia. Formerly known as Formosa, Taiwan was once a Dutch colony in the 17th century, and was subsequently ruled by the Qing dynasty for the next 200 years until sovereignty was ceded to the Japanese in the late 19th century, who ruled the island until the end of World War II. As such Taiwanese culture is sometimes described as combining Chinese and Japanese cultures with traditional Confucian beliefs and contemporary Western values. Taiwanese companies still manufacture a large portion of the world's consumer electronics, though mostly now from their factories in mainland China. This field trip includes lectures by university professors, representatives from both the Nationalist Party (KMT) and its opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and government officials on such topics as political economy, cross-strait relations, regional security, and national identity. In Taipei, students will visit the National Palace Museum, which contains one of the greatest collections of Chinese art in the world, and Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world until 2010. They will tour important cultural and scenic sites around the island, visiting aboriginal communities in Taidung and Hualien, Taiwan's major port city of Kaoshiung, and the night markets of Keelung. This field trip is most appropriate for social science students majoring in international affairs, political science, and economics.
Silk Road—Fall
A historical network of interlinking caravan routes stretching for some 4,000 miles across the Eurasian landmass from China to the Mediterranean, the ancient Silk Road was established some 2,200 years ago and continued to operate as a vital trade route between China and the Western world until the end of the 14th century. Arguably the world's most important pre-modern trade route, the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of Chinese civilization, serving as a highway not just for exchanging merchandise but ideas – religious, cultural, and artistic. In the fall semester, students travel to the beginning of the northern route in Xi'an, modern capital of Shaanxi province and ancient capital of China at the height of Silk Road trade, and then onto Dunhuang in Gansu province. Known as "City of Sands" for its surrounding dunes, this oasis in the desert is strategically located at the junction of the northern and southern trade routes, and the nearby Mogao Caves contain a treasure trove of Buddhist sculptures, murals, and manuscripts. This field trip is most suitable for humanities and social science students majoring in Chinese language and culture, literature, history, religion, anthropology, and geography.
Tea and Horse Road—Spring
This ancient network of mountain paths connected the tea growing regions of southwestern China to Burma and India overland by mule caravan through the mountains and valleys of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces and Tibet. Along the world's highest trade route, Chinese tea bricks and salt were exchanged for Tibetan horses used by China's military to fight warring nomadic groups along its northern border. In spring semester, students travel to Lijiang, with its ancient town of cobbled lanes and waterways, which later served as an important trading and supply route between India and China during World War II, and today is home to the Naxi ethnic group, who are renowned for the pictographic script of their shamans. Finally, students will visit Shangri-La, the seat of a Tibetan autonomous prefecture in northern Yunnan province near the border of Tibet. This field trip is most suitable for humanities and social science students majoring in Chinese language and culture, literature, history, religion, anthropology and geography.
You will be paired with ECNU students for structured, one-on-one Chinese language tutorials for a minimum of one hour, twice a week. Additional tutorial hours are available upon request. Tutors are undergraduate or graduate students who major in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
Full-time Chinese language instructors assist students with special or unique problems in language study by arranging an optional language clinic that meets for one and half hours, four evenings a week, Monday through Wednesday and on Sunday in the campus residence hall.
CIEE head teachers organize group meals and other activities for you, your language teachers, peer tutors, and resident staff to encourage you to utilize their Chinese in an informal setting. Those attending the optional activities are expected to speak only Chinese.
CIEE maintains relationships with a number of schools and not-for-profit organizations, and is able to offer a limited number of teaching and volunteer opportunities to interested students. These part-time opportunities vary in time commitment and skills required and are unpaid and not for credit.
Experience China as an insider, and do something meaningful by exploring a volunteering opportunity. Teach in a local migrant elementary school in Shanghai, participate in a nonprofit project in a rural area of China, or volunteer to do something different.
Chinese language study abroad students on this program are asked to take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment, which is a graded component of the Chinese language courses that begins on the first day of classes. During orientation you'll sign an agreement specifying when and in what contexts speaking Chinese is required, including inside the Chinese language classroom building. You are encouraged to speak in Chinese with CIEE staff, host families, and Chinese roommates whenever possible. As you gain proficiency in Chinese, resident staff and language instructors encourage you to use your language skills in everyday settings. This fosters a learning community that encourages regular use of the Chinese language for daily communication and facilitates language proficiency gains.
The CIEE Chinese Language Advisory Committee (CCLAC) is comprised of specialists in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language and serves to promote the highest standards of education at the CIEE Study Centers in Greater China. Specifically, the committee advises CIEE administrators and language instructors on curriculum issues such as learning goals and objectives, instructional innovations, assessment of proficiency gains, program evaluation, and course articulation.
CIEE has been operating study abroad programs in Shanghai since 1981. Established in 1998, the CIEE Study Center in Shanghai has been hosted by East China Normal University since 2001. The China in a Global Context program began in spring, 2008, and is designed to help participants gain a deeper understanding of China as it emerges to take a more influential role in world affairs. Students are introduced to the Chinese language, as well as the colonial history, foreign policy, political development, and social issues that have either impeded or given rise to modern China.
There is no language prerequisite for this program. The program is appropriate for students in the humanities and social sciences, especially those with a major or minor in international relations or political science, and is open to all levels of language students, from novice with no previous experience in the language to those with superior level Chinese language proficiency. This program includes non-intensive Mandarin Chinese language study or an alternative Communicative Chinese language elective for beginners. Students who have completed one semester of college-level Chinese or demonstrate equivalent proficiency in Chinese language have the option to take all their coursework in English.
Internships for credit and opportunities for service learning and community volunteer activities integrate academic learning with practical experience. Extracurricular activities are coordinated by CIEE staff and may include Chinese students and host families to advance understanding of local society and culture.
Students enrolled in Chinese language courses attend classes two hours per day, Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Language classes are small, with an average of five students, so active participation is very important. Classes are typically co-taught by head language instructors who introduce new content, and assistant language instructors who focus on accuracy and consistency of pronunciation through daily drills and other exercises. In addition students meet weekly with their peer tutors in structured tutorials for a minimum of two hours per week. More tutorial hours can be arranged upon request.
English language elective courses take place once per week for three hours in the afternoon. Class size ranges from five to 20 students. Chinese language electives meet twice a week for two hours. The average class size is four students. Course-related field trips are scheduled on Fridays, and occasionally weekends.
The semester is 15 weeks long including a one-week orientation, 12 weeks of instruction, a one-week group field trip, a one-week program break for independent travel, and, typically, one national holiday.
All Chinese language courses and area studies electives are managed by CIEE and specially designed for CIEE study abroad students only. Some area studies courses may include a limited number of ECNU students in order to build more opportunities for cross-cultural and academic exchange between CIEE and host university students.
In elective courses, students are generally graded on the basis of exams, homework, participation and attendance, much like they are in the U.S. Exams, quizzes, research papers, individual and group oral presentations, or projects may be assigned depending upon the course. In the language courses, assessment is based on daily homework and quizzes, written and oral unit tests, and written and oral mid- term and final exams. The following letter grades are assigned: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, and F.
Mandarin Chinese
All Chinese language courses are taught by the CIEE language director, full-time CIEE faculty, and graduate students from the East China Normal University College of International Chinese Studies. The elective courses are taught by local and international faculty from East China Normal University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and other prestigious Chinese academic and government institutions in Shanghai.

Many questions will be raised in class discussion, such as: "What were the major causes of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty?", "What was the May 4th Movement and how did it shape modern Chinese?", "What were the social and political forces that culminated in civil war?", "What was the nature and significance of China's nascent 20th century nationalism?", "What was the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution and how did they shape Chinese history?", and "Despite all the changes in China over the last century, how does the past continue to influence the present?"

Contact hours: 45. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.
Issues in Chinese Society
China's transition to a market economy and return to the global community have huge impacts over the lives of its people, as well as the rest of the world. While covering other fields such as anthropology, political science, gender studies, and urban studies, this course mostly employs a sociological perspective to examine issues in contemporary Chinese society. Topics examined include not only these well-known aspects of Chinese society such as guanxi and face, collectivism and family-centered culture, but also the emerging civil society, ongoing sexual revolution, and increasing social polarization that are more likely associated with the enormous social change over the past three decades. Students are asked to critically and creatively think about change and continuity in contemporary China in relation to the dynamic and complex interaction of local factors and global forces. Contact hours: 45. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.
Political Development in Modern China
The first half of this course will survey chronologically the major eras of modern China's political change and development, from the Late Qing to the present day. The second half will focus on different aspects of Chinese political practice and development, including exploring the relationships between nationalism, Marxism and Confucianism; elite politics and Leninism; threats to Party rule; democratic development; constitutional developments and rule of law; the "China Model;" and "decentralized authoritarianism."
Many questions will be raised in class discussion, such as: "Who and what have been and are the central political forces in China during the modern period and how might we understand them?", "What were the central political conflicts between the Kuomintang and the CPC?", "What are the fundamental similarities
and differences between the Maoist and post-Maoist eras?", "What are China's prospects for democracy and the development of the rule of law?", and "What is the "China Model" and what is "decentralized authoritarianism," and how are these concepts if not practices shaping China and the world today?" Contact hours: 45. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.
Chinese Film and Society
(All films are subtitled in English. All works are read in English.)
This course examines Chinese cinema from its infancy to contemporary period within a social, political, and cultural context, focusing specifically on films produced in mainland China. It aims to 1) help students gain an understanding of some of the social, political, cultural, and economic changes that have taken place in China in recent years; 2) help students cultivate a greater interest in the history and extraordinary development of Chinese cinema, and in cinemas beyond Hollywood; and 3) present mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan as a culturally interconnected region through tracking recent cross-border activities in Chinese language cinema and introducing students to new ways of thinking about national cinema and culture. While acknowledging the importance of examining Chinese cinema in the general framework of national tradition and identity, this course also emphasizes the transnational or pan-Asian nature of Chinese film productions at present. In this way, it is hoped that the course not only helps students cultivate a greater command over current trends and debates in analysis and theorization of Chinese cinema, but also help facilitate students' understanding of Chinese cinema and culture in the context of globalization. Contact hours: 45. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.

I wanted to find out more behind Berlins history and DDR museum showed me what was history what make Berlin Berlin!!
We read in the news that more than 2 million tourists were spending Easter in Berlin. The city centre was completely packed those days and the queue for this museum was insanely long. Hopefully we were smart enough to buy a skip the line ticker for the DDR museum with GetYourGuide. Buying this ticket is a must in high season and on weekends. The size of the museum is manageable and the price was very reasonable. We got a better idea of how living in the DDR was. You can experience the everyday life and learn about various events that marked this period. I recommend this tour to tourists but also to people living in Berlin like me. You can visit the Museum at any time on the day you purchased tickets for. So you can buy the ticket before planning your day. The location of the museum is also superb.
So easy to book over the Internet. The museum was very interesting & a reminder of how lucky we are in the west.

The Pretenders Coming To The Dodge
"The British Rock band The Pretenders with original founder Chrissie Hynde will make a stop in Phoenix to perform at Dodge Theatre on Wednesday, March 4. The tour is the band's first extensive headlining tour since 2003. The show will begin at 7:30pm. Tickets will go on-sale Monday, December 8 at 10am."
Or at least that's what the press release says. Maybe it's cuz I'm from Akron, Ohio, but I take great umbrege at labeling The Pretenders a "British Rock band" since Chrissie is from my hometown, with the four other stiffs hailing from across the pond. Whatev. The show is coming in March, so look for lots of Akro-centric coverage in advance of that. I'm actually working on getting my editors to fly me home so I can put together something like our sister paper, LA Weekly's, story on Devo in the motherland. We'll see how that goes.
Oh, and tickets go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. at the Dodge's box office. Reserved tickets are priced at $67.50, $47.50 and $37.50. --Martin Cizmar

Cons: After 6 months tracking erratically, left mouse button not registering click. Tried on several computers to verify it wasn't a bad USB port. Its the mouse. My guess is Logitech has outsourced their components to the lowest bidder, and we know which Asian country that most likely is.
Other Thoughts: Sad, Logitech used to make the best mice, bar none. Time to look for a new mouse and keyboard maker who hasn't cut one corner to many.READ FULL REVIEW

Capacity Building Workshops
The Mental Health Programme organized a capacity building workshop for adolescent children on 11th August to discuss issues on Attachment (Part II). It was facilitated by Dr. Deepak Gupta and Ms. Priyanka Jain. The objective of this workshop was to reconnect with the learning and findings of Attachment Part-I Workshop held in January this year. Secondly, we also wanted to understand what the perceptions of children are with respect to attachment with Udayan Care, fellow home mates, and carers at Home. The children were asked several questions like What it means to be part of Udayan Care, How to cherish the benefits availed at Udayan Care, Challenges across the homes cropping up due to behaviour of some children and the like. Children had an in-depth discussion amongst themselves & with Dr. Gupta. The children were motivated and inspired during the session and they went back with a feeling that their attachment with Udayan Care is a treasure that they would want to cherish for life.
Another workshop for adolescent children was held on 8th September to discuss Teenage Concerns and Challenges. It was facilitated by Ms. Aparna Goenka and Ms. Priyanka Jain, Asst.

He also reminded that carers must look at the positives of the child, appreciate him/ her for what he can do & love him/her as they are.
