Chinese Across the Curriculum: Independent Research

Catalog description

This course aims to train advanced Chinese learners in developing independent research projects on current issues and allow students to put their knowledge and skills to use in Chinese speaking contexts. Learners will choose their own research topics and learning materials, such as news reports, editorials, research papers, books, and documentaries. The materials must be authentic pieces produced for native Chinese speakers, and learners will work with the instructor to interpret and digest the texts and multimedia materials. By the end of the course, learners are expected to develop a structure of knowledge and an ability to exchange ideas with native Chinese speakers in their chosen domains. 001626
