Teaching Method

Outline:

It's said that pronunciation is the key to studying foreign languages. Chinese is no exception. In this class, we aim to achieve a balanced level of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while learning pronunciation carefully and taking time improving it. We will also deepen our understanding of the different cultures so that we can communicate more smoothly, while touching on the Chinese society and culture.

Style:

"(1) Pre-study and learn the learning points before attending classes.
(2) Actively participate in class.
(3) Work hard on vocal and conversational practice.
(4) Ask questions that arise during the pre-study or that you do not understand during classes.

Notice:

"To achieve these goals, students are required to do the following self-study:
(1) Pre-study to know the learning points and improve understanding of classes.
(2) Be sure to review after learning in class.
(3) Self-practice Chinese pronunciation using the CDs that come with the textbook and audio streaming URLs.
Students who miss 1/4 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade."
