The Chinese word 学年 (xué nián) is composed of two characters: 学 (xué), meaning "to learn" or "study", and 年 (nián), meaning "year". Together, they form the compound word 学年, which literally means "learning year" or "academic year".The term 学年 is used in Chinese to refer to the annual period of time during which students attend school or university. It typically begins in September and ends in June or July of the following year. During the 学年, students take courses, complete assignments, and participate in extracurricular activities.The 学年 is divided into two semesters, or 学期 (xué qī). The first semester begins in September and ends in January, while the second semester begins in February and ends in June or July. Each semester is typically about 18 weeks long.The 学年 is an important concept in Chinese education, as it marks the period of time during which students progress through their studies. It is also a time for students to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities, and to prepare for their future careers.
