Course Overview
Chinese - Intermediate II students develop their essential Chinese language skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese culture through engaging with various audio, visual, and textual materials to produce an increasingly authentic language application experience. The course is designed for students who have had at least two years of Chinese study and takes them into structured communication through comprehensive skill-enhancement with abundant task-based practical grammatical structures and sentence patterns. Students engage in group work, online seminars, real- time speaking practice, and personalized learning activities to improve constructive conversation skills in Chinese. Students are highly encouraged to enjoy applying Mandarin and to make productive mistakes within the course. This course aligns with Cheng and Tsui’s Integrated Chinese Level I, lessons 11 through 20. By the end of this course, students acquire substantive vocabulary and structures for creating essays, composing songs and rhymes, discussing written and audio primary sources, and presenting speeches that relate to a wide variety of popular topics. The goal is to be able to function successfully in daily life in a Chinese-speaking world. Students who complete this course are prepared for Chinese - Advanced I.
