Generic 1

The course is designed to further improve the students’ proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Students will develop more advanced linguistic skills, expand on vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, and systematically review previously studied materials. In addition to the basic textbook, students will also read more extensively on a variety of topics adapted from authentic texts. Students will practice spoken and written Chinese in complex communicative activities, using practice sessions to fine-tune pronunciation, expand vocabulary, and internalize more complex grammatical constructions. They will also develop a more in-depth understanding of Chinese culture through projects and presentations. This course will be conducted primarily in Chinese.
