CHIN 101 - Elementary Chinese I

3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.)
This introductory course will focus the Mandarin Chinese sound system (Pinyin) and the rudiments of the traditional Chinese writing system, as they apply to a practical use of the language. Written applications will be introduced with pen, paper, and word processing exercises. Chinese culture will be introduced through language experiences as well as interactive and hands-on activities. These will include activities on Chinese history and philosophy, cooking and eating techniques, holidays, festivals, and folktales.


This course will follow the Elementary Chinese I to continue to refine and further develop students’ abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in modern standard Chinese. More real-world context topics and themes will be used which enable students to learn Chinese in a more efficient and pragmatic way, and to develop their language proficiency in real-life situations. Interactive pedagogical instruction will be used in this course to increase opportunities for students to use the language in real-world situation.
 

Humanities Core Course generally offered 1st semester.
