Description
Subject Area: Chinese Studies
This course is for background speakers at the Intermediate Level. It is open to students who have grown up in a family or environment where Mandarin or any Chinese dialects have been used in daily situations. It requires a reasonable level of spoken Chinese and a working knowledge of no less than 1000 characters. In this course, you will improve your Chinese skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing, and will make significant gains in the acquisition of vocabulary and grammar. You will also be introduced to social, cultural and historical knowledge in the context of the Chinese speaking world. In addition to daily discourse and abstract ideas, topics that require critical thinking and higher language integration are woven into this level of language study.
