Pre-requisites
Students must have completed
two semesters of Chinese language prior to the program.
This six credit immersion program is a student-centered
program, which has an integrated curriculum, providing
students with the chance to learn much more than just
the fundamentals of the Chinese language. Students
learn how to interact with Chinese people in both
casual and formal situations.
This program is designed for students with an intermediate
to advanced intermediate-level of Chinese language
ability. Classes focus on basic vocabulary, grammar,
sentence structures, and simple texts. Participants
will be taught both Chinese pinyin and character systems.
Designed to focus on developing spoken Chinese and
fluency, the intensive program consists of 5 hours
of class per day during the week. Oral exercises and
drills ensure that participants learn the correct
pronunciation. There are also various language activities
to help participants to internalize everyday expressions
and sentence patterns.
Chinese Language II
(6 credit hours)
The purpose of the intermediate level class is
to help students increase reading comprehension as
well as oral proficiency in Mandarin. After this class,
students will be able to independently learn Chinese
on their own and will be prepared to take an advanced
language training course. There are three sub-levels
within this course to acccommodate different skill
levels.
Chinese Language III
(6 credit hours)
Advanced level class following largely the same structure
as the beginner and intermediate classes.
