	Attraction and Isolation: The Past and Future of East Asian Languages and Cultures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A number of smaller East Asian language programs use a mix of native and nonnative speakers as teachers, but the reliance on language instructors who are native speakers is the prevailing model and occurs with much greater frequency than probably in any other foreign language.
		The change in direction in the study of East Asian languages, away from a strictly humanities-based model toward one that includes the social sciences and the preprofessional fields, is of considerable significance.
		In this model, East Asian studies becomes a means of understanding a wide variety of cultural phenomena, of literary and nonliterary texts, of material culture, architecture, cities, visual arts, and mass media, particularly as a way of understanding the construction of collective identities, past and present.

		A preoccupation in classical East Asian philosophy, then, is the cultivation of this centripetal harmony as it begins with oneself, and radiates outward.
		The East Asian world view is thus dominated by this ‘bottom-up’ and emergent sense of order which begins from the coordination of concrete detail.

		In order to satisfy the RSEA language requirement, students must either satisfactorily complete at least a third-year East Asian language course at Harvard, or demonstrate the equivalent proficiency through the language placement tests administered by the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations (EALC) before the beginning of classes each September.
