  27. 			<p><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="-1">For over twenty years, since 1989, faculty and students of the University of Maine at Farmington and Beijing University of Technology have studied and taught at each others' university.  The exchange has enriched the lives of students who are not able to spend time abroad by providing language and culture instruction at their home universities.</font>
    28. 

  28. 			<p><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="-1">UMF offers Chinese language courses through the intermediate level taught by experienced language teachers from BJUT.  The Chinese exchange professor also offers a course in Chinese culture in the spring semester and sometimes during May Term.  Likewise, UMF faculty teach courses at BJUT ranging from English Literature to Advanced Oral Expression for teachers of English at BJUT. </font>
    29. 

  29. 			<p><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="-1">UMF students spend one or two semesters studying Chinese language and culture.  They attend language classes four hours each day and take frequent excursions to see historical and cultural sites around Beijing.  They live in the foreign students' dormitory close to the main gates of BJUT, providing easy access to the campus and a rich opportunity to meet students from Japan, Korea, Norway, Denmark, England, and even New York who have come to learn Chinese.</font>

  31. a year in China, but many would like to know more about China or have a chance to practice their Chinese.&nbsp; The University of Maine at Farmington summer experience in China was
    32. 

  32. designed to give more people the opportunity to develop or expand their
    33. 

  33. interest in China.&nbsp;  In the past we have visited Shanghai, Xi'an, Guilin as well as Beijing.  In Beijing, we visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, attend the opera, musical events, and even have some time for shopping.  The experience varies each time, but it is always an adventure.
