Learning Chinese at the Chinese-Russian Center
For years, distance language learning has been discussed worldwide as today’s most promising form of education. Russia has also joined this trend. In her article «The Remote Student», published in Gazeta.ru, Elena Khotuleva describes what she sees as one of its undeniable advantages:
Distance education represents a new stage in the development of the entire education system. The technology already allows it to match, and sometimes surpass, face-to-face education in quality. For example, while full-time students waste time searching libraries for information, distance learners find the same information instantly in restricted electronic databases. Students attending in person skip lectures and seminars while trying to combine work and study, whereas «distance learners» can plan their own time, gaining necessary experience while receiving a quality education. Moreover, although distance education is still always fee-paying, it is more accessible to many students: it costs several times less than comparable full-time study, and there is no competitive admission process at all.
