Instructor: Lin, Shu-hui
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. The first
half of the semester will be focused on a contemporary Chinese film,
while in the second half we will be reading newpaper articles from Mainland
China and Taiwan. 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.
