Intensive Intermediate Chinese I & II

Catalog description

This intensive course is a continuation of CHIN 0210 Intensive Beginning Chinese I & II and is designed for students who have completed approximately one year of college-level Chinese. It consolidates and expands students’ foundations in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while introducing more complex grammatical structures, vocabulary, and discourse patterns. Instruction emphasizes accuracy, fluency, and appropriate language use across oral and written contexts, while also deepening students’ understanding of contemporary Chinese culture, society, and everyday life. By the end of the course, students will be able to engage in longer conversations on a range of familiar topics, read and produce extended texts, and use common idiomatic expressions and rhetorical structures appropriately.
