prereq 3031 or equiv or instr consent, 4.0 cr
Instructor: Wang, Junren
This course is open to students who have successfully completed the Chinese
3031 course. The focus will shift slightly away from just reading skills,
and will include more student-guided/led discussions in Chinese, as well
as writing on a variety of assigned and student-chosen themes. We will
also attempt to incorporate a contemporary Chinese film into the classroom,
so that students will be exposed to a broader cross-cultural knowledge
of the target language cultural context.
At the end of the course, students should be able to read Chinese articles
with sophistication and appreciate them from appropriate cultural understanding.
They should also be able to write good Chinese compositions that express
their views on various topics.
