Description

Subject Area: Chinese Studies

This is an introductory course in Modern Standard Chinese language (Mandarin). With a holistic, integrated focus on the four language skills - listening, speaking, reading, and writing - the course teaches students how the Chinese language works grammatically, and in socio-cultural contexts. Students develop their communicative skills and competence in Chinese through various activities.

This course is divided into two groups: Group A for “non-background speakers” and Group B for “background speakers” (student who come from an environment where Chinese, whether Mandarin, Cantonese or any other dialect, is or has been used).
