Course Description

This first-semester of the Second Year Chinese course is designed for students who have
completed a rigorous first-year college-level Mandarin course or its equivalent. It aims to
advance proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing to the Intermediate Mid to
Advanced Low levels (ACTFL). Students will engage with real-world scenarios relevant to
studying abroad, such as selecting phone plans, handling bank transactions, and mailing
packages. Emphasis is placed on detailed narration (e.g., emails, journals) and intercultural
competence through comparative cultural analysis. Course materials include dialogues and
narratives to support vocabulary, grammar, communication, and cultural learning.
