Expanded Course Description
Courses at this upper-intermediate level are conducted almost entirely in Chinese. Students continue to study materials of increasing complexity, which cover a variety of topics related to traditional and contemporary Chinese society. Authentic materials are used extensively, including excerpts of original literary texts, short stories and magazines, newspaper articles, clips of Chinese films and TV programs. Texts are dealt with in terms of their linguistic features, discourse cohesion, style and register, with an emphasis on a clear understanding of the structurally complex sentences and the social and cultural background involved. Focus is on further developing students¿ proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing, particularly the ability to synthesize and summarize the materials being dealt with, and the capability to clearly present their ideas in discourses larger and more complex than those learned in Second-Year Chinese. Business Chinese is also incorporated in the Third-Year curriculum as a distinctive component where major units are organized around tasks, structures, and projects (e.g. simulated business negotiations in international trade, business letter writing, business oral presentations) that students can work through in small groups, so as to maximize the opportunities for them to practice using the Chinese language. To help students maintain continued motivation to learn and to give them the tools to use when studying on their own, the Third-Year curriculum provides students with additional Internet resources for Chinese learning. Further, students at the this level are introduced to the basics of Chinese brush calligraphy, with hands-on practice of the use of Chinese brush and ink, and an enhanced appreciation of Chinese Calligraphy as an art form.
