Third-Year Chinese

Chinese 321

The goal of this class is to move you closer to being able to read authentic texts on your own, to increase the sophistication of your oral and written expression, and to improve your reading and listening comprehension. Review days will be devoted to expanding your abilities beyond the lesson text through reading authentic passages on topics related to the lesson text and to communicative activities. There will be regular essay assignments and writing conferences with me in order to work on your written expression.

Textbooks:
Yuehua Liu & Tao-chung Yao et al, Integrated Chinese Level 2 2nd ed. (Boston: Cheng & Tsui, 1997)
