CHIN 1120 - Beginning Chinese II


Goals: To use Chinese to discuss food and drink, birthdays, student life, academics, shopping, and transportation. Students will be able to move between past, present, and future in Chinese and will be able to describe both objects and actions using a wide range of descriptive adjectives and adverbs. In addition to being able to recognize and type approximately 350 Chinese characters, students will also focus on writing Chinese characters and completing homework by hand.

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 history and culture will be taught through film, songs, video clips, and poetry.

Taught: Annually, in spring term
