Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

If your long-time goal is to move past the intermediate Chinese learning plateau and gain ability to participate fully in the Chinese-speaking world, this course will be the next great step you need to take.  This course uses authentic articles from the Chinese version of New York Times and focuses on how to read effectively and write clearly through 1) learning both semi-formal and formal vocabulary, modern idiomatic expressions, advanced sentence structures and the major features that characterize the advanced Chinese; 2) exploring together with your classmates the different aspects of Chinese culture or events that interest you by listening to the Chinese version of TED talk; 3) completing a book or a magazine in Chinese as the group project that documents student learning that takes place during the semester.  This course helps students further solidify the foundation for their Chinese study for the next level which is advanced level as well as enhance their awareness and overall competence for cross-cultural communications.
