Class Description:
CHN 3031 Advanced Modern Chinese Prerequisite: 3022 or equiv or instructor consent, 4 credits. This course will be open to students who have completed two years of Chinese language curriculum at the University of Minnesota and the equivalent. 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).Teaching materials are all related to contemporary issues in China and a modern Chinese movie. 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. Textbook: All Things Considered (Advanced Reader of Modern Chinese). Edited by Chih-ping Chou, Yan Xia and Meow Hui Goh. Princeton University Press Movie: To Live ( By Zhang YiMou)
