CLI is built on respect, trust, diversity, kindness, mutual support, and meaningful lifelong connections between the world and China.CLI建立在尊重、信任、多元、善意与相互支持之上，并致力于帮助世界与中国建立有意义、长久的联系。
At CLI, language learning happens through close interaction: one-on-one lessons, regular contact with teachers and staff, shared activities, and daily life in Guilin. That closeness is part of what makes the experience meaningful. It helps students build lasting connections with China, the Chinese language, and the people around them.
CLI is also a close-knit international community. Students and team members come from different countries, backgrounds, and perspectives, and each person helps shape the character of the community. For that reason, mutual respect, professionalism, and clear boundaries matter here.
These standards explain what CLI expects of students as members of the community. They are intended to help protect a safe, welcoming, and effective environment for students, teachers, staff, hosts, and guests.
These standards apply to conduct in classes, CLI-arranged housing, activities, online communication, and other CLI-related settings. Conduct outside formal CLI settings may also matter if it affects safety, professional boundaries, or the learning environment.
在CLI，语言学习通过密切互动实现：一对一课程、与老师和工作人员的日常接触、共同活动以及在桂林的日常生活。这种亲近感是体验意义深远的原因之一，帮助学生与中国、中文及身边的人建立持久的联系。
CLI也是一个紧密的国际社区。学生和团队成员来自不同的国家、背景和视角，每个人都在塑造社区的特质。因此，相互尊重、专业精神和清晰的界限在这里至关重要。
这些准则说明了CLI对学生作为社区成员的期望，旨在为学生、教师、工作人员、寄宿家庭和访客营造一个安全、友好和高效的环境。
这些准则适用于课堂、CLI安排的住宿、活动、在线沟通及其他与CLI相关的场景。如果CLI之外的行为影响到安全、专业界限或学习环境，也可能适用这些准则。
CLI is built on respect, curiosity, professionalism, and consideration for others.
We value diversity of thought, background, and experience. Students should feel able to be themselves at CLI while also recognizing that they share responsibility for the comfort, dignity, and wellbeing of others. A strong community depends on kindness, good judgment, and mutual respect.
Because CLI emphasizes one-on-one and small-group immersion, trust and clear boundaries are especially important. Students are expected to contribute to an environment in which everyone can learn, teach, and participate comfortably.
CLI建立在尊重、好奇心、专业精神和为他人着想的基础之上。
我们重视思想、背景和经历的多元化。学生应能在CLI做真实的自己，同时也应认识到他们对他人的舒适、尊严和福祉负有共同责任。一个强大的社区依赖于善意、良好的判断力和相互尊重。
由于CLI强调一对一和小班沉浸式教学，信任和清晰的界限尤为重要。我们期望学生为营造一个每个人都能舒适地学习、教学和参与的环境做出贡献。
Students must treat others with respect in their words, behavior, and choices.
CLI does not permit harassment, discrimination, bullying, intimidation, threats, retaliation, or degrading conduct. This includes conduct directed toward teachers, staff, classmates, language partners, hosts, drivers, guides, and community members.
Cultural differences may shape context, but they do not excuse conduct that crosses a boundary, creates discomfort, or makes another person feel unsafe.
A single serious incident may violate these standards. Repeated lower-level conduct may also become a serious issue when viewed together.
学生必须在言行和选择上尊重他人。
CLI不允许骚扰、歧视、欺凌、恐吓、威胁、报复或贬低行为。这包括针对教师、工作人员、同学、语伴、寄宿家庭、司机、导游和社区成员的行为。
文化差异可能影响情境，但不能成为越界、造成不适或使他人感到不安全的借口。
单一严重事件即可违反这些准则。反复出现的较轻程度行为，综合来看也可能成为严重问题。
CLI teachers and staff are here in professional roles: as instructors, academic supporters, and program staff. Students must respect those roles and maintain clear professional boundaries at all times.
Our teachers are here to support your language learning and your experience at CLI. They are not here as potential romantic interests, private guides, or personal companions. If a teacher or staff member sets a boundary, that boundary must be respected immediately.
One-on-one lessons and other instructional settings should remain focused on learning, coursework, homework, progress, and appropriate conversation.
Students may not introduce sexual, romantic, bodily-private, or otherwise boundary-crossing topics in class or other one-on-one instructional settings, whether in person or online. Dirty jokes, sexual innuendo, suggestive remarks, and insulting, demeaning, or offensive comments are not appropriate in instructional settings.
Students must respect personal space at all times.
Unnecessary physical contact with teachers or staff is not permitted. This includes touching, hugging, blocking movement, cornering, or deliberately invading another person's space in ways that are not appropriate in a professional educational setting.
If a teacher or staff member indicates that something is unwelcome, students must stop immediately.
Communication with teachers should be limited to scheduling, academic questions, and CLI-related logistics.
Students should not pressure teachers or staff to reply outside working hours, connect on personal social media, share private contact details, or engage beyond their professional role. Teachers and staff are not required to accept friend requests, respond to personal messages, or continue communication they believe is inappropriate or outside professional boundaries.
Romantic, sexually suggestive, threatening, or otherwise boundary-crossing messages to CLI staff through WeChat, email, or any other platform are not permitted.
CLI activities and community events are the appropriate setting for most student-teacher social interaction.
One-on-one socializing with teachers outside scheduled class time is generally not appropriate unless it is clearly part of a CLI-approved activity or program arrangement. Students should not pressure teachers or staff to meet privately, go out alone, or spend time together outside their professional role.
Teachers and staff may decline invitations without explanation and without consequence.
Romantic or sexual relationships between CLI students and CLI staff are prohibited during a student's enrollment period.
Students may not pursue, pressure, or repeatedly invite teachers or staff into romantic or sexual interaction. This includes repeated requests for dates, gifts intended to create personal pressure, favors intended to initiate a personal relationship, or continued pursuit after a declined or unanswered invitation.
If you are unsure whether an interaction has crossed a boundary, raise the concern early rather than wait for the situation to escalate.
Intent does not determine impact. Unwelcome conduct may violate these standards even if the student did not intend harm.
CLI的教师和工作人员以专业角色在此工作：作为教员、学术支持人员和项目工作人员。学生必须始终尊重这些角色并保持清晰的专业界限。
我们的老师在这里是为了支持你的语言学习和在CLI的体验。他们不是潜在的恋爱对象、私人导游或个人伙伴。如果教师或工作人员设定了界限，该界限必须立即被尊重。
一对一课程和其他教学场景应专注于学习、课程内容、作业、进步和适当的对话。

学生必须始终尊重个人空间。
不允许与教师或工作人员进行不必要的身体接触。包括触摸、拥抱、阻挡行动、逼到角落，或以在专业教育环境中不合适的方式故意侵入他人空间。
如果教师或工作人员表示某些行为不受欢迎，学生必须立即停止。
与教师的沟通应限于课程安排、学术问题和与CLI相关的事务。

教师和工作人员可以在不需要解释和不受影响的情况下拒绝邀请。
在学生注册期间，禁止CLI学生与CLI工作人员之间的恋爱或性关系。

Students are expected to attend classes on time and participate in good faith.
If you will miss class, notify your teacher or CLI as soon as possible. If you plan to leave Guilin during your program, communicate that in advance when required.
Repeated unexplained absences, prolonged absence, or unannounced travel may affect your continued participation in the program. Disruptive behavior may also affect continued participation.
CLI may treat unexplained absence as a safety concern, especially if a student leaves Guilin or misses multiple consecutive classes without communication.
学生应按时上课并真诚参与。
如果你将缺课，请尽快通知你的老师或CLI。如果你计划在项目期间离开桂林，请在需要时提前沟通。
反复无故缺勤、长期缺席或未通知的旅行可能影响你继续参与项目。破坏性行为也可能影响继续参与。
CLI可能将无故缺席视为安全问题，尤其是当学生离开桂林或连续多次缺课且未沟通时。
Housing is part of the CLI learning environment. Whether you stay in CLI housing, with a host family, or in another CLI-arranged setting, you are expected to help maintain a clean, respectful, and cooperative living environment.

If something makes you uncomfortable, if a class interaction feels inappropriate, if you are unsure about a boundary, or if you need support, please contact CLI.
Students do not need to wait until a situation feels "serious" to ask for help. If an interaction with a teacher or staff member feels boundary-crossing, please raise it promptly, even if you are not sure whether it "counts." We would much rather help early than have a problem grow through silence or uncertainty.
Students may also raise concerns with a teacher or another CLI leader they trust.
如果有什么让你感到不舒服，如果某次课堂互动让你觉得不合适，如果你不确定某个界限，或者如果你需要支持，请联系CLI。
学生不需要等到事情变得"很严重"才寻求帮助。如果你觉得与老师或工作人员的互动可能越界，请尽早提出来，即使你还不确定它是否算作违规。与其让问题因沉默或不确定而扩大，我们更希望尽早帮助你处理。
学生也可以向他们信任的老师或其他CLI负责人提出问题。
CLI takes concerns seriously. When needed, CLI may take immediate protective steps while it reviews the situation. Where appropriate, CLI will gather the available facts, speak with the people involved, and give the student an opportunity to respond before making a final decision.
Retaliation for raising a concern, setting a boundary, or participating in a review is itself a violation of these standards. CLI will handle concerns with care and share information only with those who need it in order to respond appropriately. Absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, but unnecessary disclosure is not permitted.
CLI会认真对待相关问题。如有必要，CLI可在了解情况期间先采取临时保护措施。在适当情况下，CLI会了解现有事实、与相关人员沟通，并在作出最终决定前给予学生回应的机会。
