  • Information Sheet on the Chinese Language Elective Programme at the Pre-University Level (CLEP-JC)
    Information Sheet on the Chinese Language Elective Programme at the Pre-University Level (CLEP-JC) Introduction The Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP) was introduced by the Ministry of Education in 1990 to nurture promising students to attain a high level of language proficiency in Chinese, and enhance their understanding of Chinese literature. The programme also aims to develop academically able students to become effectively bilingual so as to better serve the needs of our nation. Over the years, the CLEP has contributed immensely in nurturing effectively bilingual talents, and has seen a gradual increase in the number of students, having expanded from two Pre-U CLEP centres in 1990 to the current five centres. They are Hwa Chong Institution (College), Temasek Junior College, Nanyang Junior College, Jurong Pioneer Junior College and Dunman High School. Students who wish to join the CLEP at the Pre-U level must be offered a place to study in one of these schools. Course Content The duration of the programme is two years. All CLEP-JC students must offer H2 Chinese Language & Literature (H2 CLL) at A level. CLEP-JC students will have the option to go beyond offering H2 CLL by attending H3 CLL lessons as a non-examinable subject. They can subsequently offer H3 CLL as an examinable subject1 if they wish to do so. Supplementary materials will be provided to students with no foundation in Chinese literature. Enrichment Activities The CLEP-JC provides a wide range of activities to enhance students’ learning and cultivate a deeper interest in Chinese language and culture, including literary lecture series, camp, immersion trip (Beijing/ Shanghai/ Taipei), editing and publishing of literary works, internships and school- based projects.
