prereq 3031 or equiv or instructor consent, 4 credits
Instructor: Li , Chiping
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 newspaper
and 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.
