Though students are allowed to choose courses taught in English or Chinese, he said that, this semester provides a good opportunity for all to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. Besides, studying abroad is not only to gain knowledge, but also to improve one’s abilities. Therefore, he hoped that all students could get used to their new environment quickly.
Prof. Xiao gave students her contact number and urged them to use it if she can any problems for them. She hoped that students could enjoy every moment at JUFE.

She also said, students should ask OICE or PSB for help if they have any trouble.
