Strong Financial Support Available to International Students
Zhejiang Gongshang University (ZJGSU) provides international students with
Strong financial support in the form of long-term
or short-term teaching assistantships in our Spoken English Promotion Project.
By "long-term", we mean that the students will study in this University for one
semester or over one semester. By "short-term", we mean that the students will
study in this University for two to four weeks.
Requirements:
International students, who study the courses of Chinese Culture and Business in
this University on a long-term or short-term basis, and who can speak standard
English fluently, clearly and distinctly are eligible for this program. The
teaching assistantships are only available to students in a group of at least 16
who come together from a higher educational institution overseas.
Job descriptions:
Each teaching assistant (TA) will be assigned to chat in English with native
ZJGSU students for three or four hours each workday. The purpose of the program
is to improve the native students' spoken English. Each TA will be assigned to
talk to a different four students each hour. Each TA¡¯s performance will be
evaluated by our students and English teachers. The amount of payment to
teaching assistantships will be based on our evaluation. Generally speaking, TAs
are potentially eligible for full assistantship.
Benefits:
The assistantship can help an international student waive his/her tuition and
cover the costs of accommodation, food and local transportation during his/her
studies in the University. For example, an international student who studies for
two weeks would receive a full assistantship which covers RMB800 for tuition,
RMB210 for food, RMB560 for accommodation, and RMB430 for local transportation,
totally equivalent to US$ 250. This means that the payment to each hour's job
amounts to US$ 6.25. An international student who receives excellent evaluation
will get extra awards.
