This course builds on the language skills that students have acquired in the previous three years. Reading materials will include various topics and styles. Students are expected to summarise the reading in their own words, both oral and written, and to write reviews and essays in Chinese.
This course builds on the language skills acquired in CHIN352 and further develops and consolidates the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in Chinese. The course will use texts (written texts or video clips) aimed at the native Chinese speakers, introducing expressions for discussion of indigenous issues, and Chinese language. For developing writing and speaking skills, students will be required to do oral presentation, conduct student-led discussions, and write two short essays in Chinese.There are four contact hours in the form of classroom teaching each week during term time. There is a total of 48 contact hours in this course, in which four general topics will be covered: indigenous people, family, evolution of Chinese language and classical Chinese. Each topic has 12 contact hours, in which the scheduled presentations and discussions are included. ‘Learn’ is used for course management.
