Instructor: null Hours: 5 Level: Undergraduate Language: Chinese Native or near-native speakers of Chinese are not eligible for this course. No credit granted to those who have completed or are enrolled in ASIANLAN 203 (Intensive Second Year Chinese). Students electing ASIANLAN 201 should have mastered the language material in Integrated Chinese Level 1. The goals of ASIANLAN 201 are to help students: (a) improve their spoken and aural proficiency; (b) achieve a solid reading level with the roughly 500 new vocabulary entries introduced over ten lessons; and (c) learn to express themselves clearly in writing on a variety of covered topics using learned grammar patterns and vocabulary. These goals are approached through grammar and reading-writing lectures, classroom drills, listening and speaking activities, and written quizzes and tests. An underlying theme of the course is that, insofar as language is a systematic reflection of culture, understanding the link between language and culture can make the language easier — and more fascinating — to learn. The text for the course is Integrated Chinese Level II (Cheng & Tsui Co., 1997). 3rd Year Chinese I Instructor: null Hours: 5 Level: Undergraduate Language: Chinese This course, designed for students who have completed two years of Chinese study, is the start of a transition from narrative style to written style. It continues with a balanced requirement in all the four basic skills — listening, speaking, reading and writing. The class meets five hours per week. The textbook, A New Chinese Course Book II, covers 12 aspects of contemporary Chinese society and culture, and enhances cultural awareness in terms of language training. Student work is evaluated on the basis of daily attendance, exercises, homework, oral and writing tests, and term project. The class is conducted mainly in Chinese. Native or near-native speakers of Chinese who want to improve their reading and writing skills should take ASIANLAN 304, Reading and Writing Chinese III. 734.764.6308 Suite 4668 1080 S.
