CHIN 3110 - Intermediate Chinese I


Goals: To develop conversational ability around the topics of the weather, Chinese cuisine, directions and location, planning a party, and seeing a doctor. Students will also read stories in simple non-technical prose, and master the vocabulary and grammar introduced in their readings. This course is designed to help students to reach intermediate level communicative skills and to establish a solid base for more advanced language learning.

Content: A textbook and two workbooks provide opportunities to learn vocabulary and sentences, gain understanding of Chinese grammar, and practice speaking, listening, reading, writing, translating and self-expression. Chinese geography and regional cuisine will be taught through map exercises, folk songs, and film clips. Students will research a restaurant in China and present the regional dishes served there.

Taught: Annually, in fall term

Language placement: The department recommends that students complete CHIN 1120 before taking this course. Otherwise, students should do the online placement assessment for Chinese and contact the course instructor for placement advice.

Note: Students who wish to take this course, but have another scheduled course that conflicts with the lab time of this course, may arrange for an alternate lab time. Please contact the instructor for assistance.
