ASIANLAN 102 is a continuation course of ASIANLAN 101. In this course, the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are emphasized. The class meets five hours a week — two hours of lecture and three hours of recitation. In the lectures, Chinese characters and grammar will be introduced; in the recitation classes, patterns will be drilled and conversational skills will be developed. A total of 320 characters will be introduced in this course. It is our goal to enable students to carry on simple conversations with each other, and read and write at the elementary level. Evaluation will be based on comprehensive requirements in oral performance, as well as in reading/writing ability. Daily attendance is required.
Textbooks: Integrated Chinese (Level One, Part II); Textbook, Workbook, Character Workbook (all in Traditional Character Edition).
No visitors are allowed. This is not the right course for students who already speak Chinese (Mandarin). These students should try ASIANLAN 204, Reading and Writing Chinese II, or ASIANLAN 104, First Year Chinese for Mandarin Speakers I, the latter being offered in the Fall term.
