Course Outline
Chinese II (Intermediate level)
While the basic level teaches phonetic system and basic characters
necessary in basic daily situations, the intermediate level will develop
learners’ speaking and listening skills by expanding their vocabulary
and enhancing grammar awareness. The course is designed to achieve this
goal in the form of more daily situations that foreign students may
encounter. The appropriate and practical usage of the language is the
central concern when choosing the conversations, which are entitled in
idiomatic Chinese sayings. To arouse students’ interest, we have
incorporated special activities like story-telling, jokes, singing folk
songs, appreciating ancient poems, etc. Besides, students will also
learn to write Chinese characters. Upon completing this course, students
will learn around 450 basic words & phrases. With the added vocabulary,
in this course you will add over 1000 words & phrases to your stock of
vocabulary.
