Fourth-Year Chinese Readings: Social Sciences and History

4 credits · Undergraduate

The course is designed to further develop students' advanced-mid level language proficiency and intercultural competence. It uses authentic readings on Chinese social, political, and journalistic issues, supplemented by newspaper articles. To develop students' self-learning abilities and help them to link the target language to their real world experience, students' agency in learning is promoted through critical reading and rewriting and through comparing linguistic and cultural differences.
