Student’s shock as economics tutorial held almost entirely in Chinese – ABC News

When Harry, a first year economics student at Melbourne University, began attending his mandatory tutorials, he was excited to engage with his fellow student and start his further education journey.

But Harry found himself unable to participate in his class after students and the tutor would converse in Mandarin for almost the entire session.

He told Ali Moore that he “felt left out of the learning conversation”.

Press play to hear the full conversation on 774 ABC Radio Melbourne Drive.

The University of Melbourne declined to come on air, but told the program in a statement they are looking into the allegations.

The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) said in a statement it is expected universities ensure students have the required English language proficiency to participate in study, and they will seek information from the University of Melbourne.
