Senior Lecturer Haohsiang Liao told the Babel newsletter that in addition to offering a new Cantonese class, GSL also has plans underway to develop a class in Business Chinese. Section head, Professor Emma Teng, said the new subjects "couldn't come at a better time" because MIT has recently announced a new Hong Kong innovation node, a collaborative space that will connect the MIT community with unique resources and opportunities in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and neighboring areas in Guangdong province.

Information about the IAP courses will be available soon on the IAP website.
