    Course Description

    The purpose of this course is to enable students to acquire proficiency in Chinese through a linguistic, communicative, and cultural approach to language learning. Emphasis is placed on the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills and on acquisition of the fundamentals of applied grammar. Cross-cultural understanding is fostered and real-life applications are emphasized throughout the course.

     

    Course Objectives

    Students on Chinese courses will demonstrate the ability to communicate in Chinese in a variety of ways.  The students will be able to communicate verbally (speaking and listening), and they will also be able to read and write Chinese at a reasonable level.

     

    Course Outline

    Each 9 week period will contain its own grade.  This means that with a new 9 week grading period, everyone starts with a clean slate.  This way, if a student does not earn the desired grade in one particular grading period, he or she can start fresh with the next marking without the prior grade affecting the new grading period’s progress.  Semester exams will be administered at the end of the 1st and  2nd semesters based on materials from each of those semesters.
