课程内容和安排
The course is a continuation of Intermediate Chinese Level I. The goal of this course is to train you to function successfully in Chinese society. If you are interested in interacting with Chinese people in a way that will permit you to pursue professional goals in some segments of that society, you need to learn how to present yourself in a way that a Chinese person will find comfortable. When a Chinese has to adapt to you, it is not likely that you can accomplish what you intend to do in China. Given some of you are going to China in the near future, we endorse performance-based learning and assessment, and stress oral communication and writing online as steps to ready yourself for HSK tests. |

We will pay attention to the way you behave as much as we attend to your use of the language. In order to do this, you will have to perform. You performance is the focus of this course. Whether you are speaking, reading, or writing, your daily performance will be the crucial factor in how well you do in this class. You are by now accustomed to performing in Chinese in class, we will continue to build on this until you are comfortable using the language in front of strangers.
For the highly motivated and under-challenged in this class, you may consider doing some extra translations to score bonus points. They may very well be the beginning or part of your junior I.S. projects. |
