- Also Offered:
- Course Catalog Description:
- Reading/analysis of 20th-century texts. prereq: 3022 or equiv or instr consent
- Class Description:
- This course will be open only to those students who have completed the equivalent of the first 2 years of the Chinese Language Curriculum at the U of M. The focus will be on improving reading skills, building vocabulary, mastering new sentence structures and expressing one's ideas and opinions (especially about the readings) in both spoken and written Chinese. Both prepared and unprepared (spontaneous) responses to the written materials will be focused on in classroom sessions (i.e. memorization of short passages, sight reading and Q&A sessions). As in previous years, readings will include selections from May 4th (1920s) Chinese fiction and essays, newspaper readings, and some other selections (academic prose, popular music, classical pieces, etc.). We will attempt to develop a sense of spontaneity and confidence in dealing with the type of contingent situations confronted daily when one is in a foreign-language environment. To this end, significant stress will be placed on teaching students to use the Chinese they know as a tool for mastering the Chinese they don't know.We will use the reader "All things considered" from Princeton University Press.
