Message to student recruitment partners worldwide

Get ahead! Learn Chinese, the world’s new second language.

The population now in the world is 6 billion and at least 1 billion are native Chinese speakers. Chinese as a foreign/ second language is developing rapidly since 2001 after China has become a WTO member. While anticipating the indispensable role and irresistible influence of China in the global arena in the 21^st century, more and more countries have encompassed Chinese language learning in their formal primary and secondary education. Not to mention Chinese language’s popularity in higher education and language study for professional development. One can imagine the bright future of Chinese as a Foreign/ Second Language.

In 2009, there were approximately 200,000 oversea students in mainland China with Asian being the majority group (72%). In Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, there are around 1600 oversea students studying a degree programme, with a relatively balanced population between the non-Asian and Asian group (4:6). This phenomenon is probably a benefit from the bilingual and international environment of Hong Kong.
