Yale-China Chinese Language Centre (abbreviated as CLC, formerly New Asia - Yale-in-China Chinese Language Centre, {{zh|t=新雅中國語文研習所}}) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong is a Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese study centre in Hong Kong.

The school offers various programmes geared toward different types of students, including Cantonese and Mandarin programmes for foreigners, Mandarin classes for local Hong Kongers, and Cantonese classes for Mainland students and migrants to Hong Kong.[1]

The school is headquartered at the CUHK campus in Shatin, and has additional classrooms in Jordan, starting from July 2017[1].

History

The CLC was established by Mrs. Jennie Mak Ling in 1961 to teach Cantonese to foreigners.[1] In 1963 the school received support by New Asia College and the Yale-China Association and renamed New Asia–Yale-in-China Chinese Language Centre.[1] The centre was formally incorporated into the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1974. The Centre's partnership with the Yale-China Association (then called Yale-in-China) was partly a result of the significant deterioration in relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States which made it difficult for "Yale-in-China" to operate in China.[2]

A new headquarters for the school, located at the CUHK campus across the street from University Station, was built at a cost of $1.5 million with the support of the Fong Shu Fook Tong Foundation. The so-named Fong Shu Chuen Building was opened on 24 January 1980 by Chief Secretary Jack Cater.[3] This building remains the headquarters of the school.

In 1998 the centre launched a Cantonese language programme for Mainland students.[1]
