Crosslistings:
EAST 246

This course provides students with intense and ample practice of advanced Chinese with a communicative approach. Both text-based and media-aided, this approach introduces a choice set of contemporary and diverse situations and topics (e.g. unemployment, single-parenthood, baby-adoption, media and consumerist culture, etc.). With or without the print text, students can study, discuss and practice on original news broadcasts, TV reportage, scenes from films or TV drama. Classes will include media session in the lab, group discussion and oral presentation by students. The course is especially helpful for keeping up students' reading and communicative competence.
