Fourth-Level Modern Chinese I

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Third-Year Chinese or the equivalent. Based on their existing Chinese proficiency level, students will receive further training in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The regular textbook will be supplemented with writings from Chinese newspapers, magazines, internet sources, and films. By the end of two semesters, students are expected to express themselves both orally and in written form on a variety of topics in humanities in depth and in a culturally appropriate manner. Students are required to take the placement exam unless they are advancing from the previous level.
