Chinese - Advanced I
All Genders Course; Prerequisite - Successful completion of at least three years of high school Chinese, or two years of high school Chinese with an immersion experience; Full Year Course
Course Overview
Chinese – Advanced I is a rigorous class that prepares students for the AP® or Advanced II courses the following year. Students develop language competencies while building proficiency in applying Chinese in a variety of real-life situations. The course builds through unrehearsed listening and reading texts, engaging essays, authentic projects, and virtual field trips. Class discussions and debates are added sequentially so that students develop both communication and language-learning strategies. A variety of audio, visual, and textual materials are carefully selected based on the interests and preferences of the students to reflect the diversity of students' lives, school experience, and personal/social issues. Students should be prepared for a range of collaborative and individual activities each week, including speaking in real time with each other and the instructor. This course aligns with Cheng and Tsui’s Integrated Chinese Level II, lessons 21 through 30. By the end of this course, students are able to relate past, present, and future experiences to conduct complicated daily activities in Chinese. Students who complete this course are prepared for AP Chinese.
“This was my first time taking an online class, and my teacher was extremely helpful and understanding. I don't think I could have done this course without her, and I'm very grateful for everything she did for us this year! I can't wait until next year with her!”
