Mandarin 9

Mandarin 9

This course is intended for beginner students who have no or little Chinese language background. In this course, about 220 Chinese characters, and functional Chinese expressions and dialogues will be introduced. Culture is considered an integral part of the language study and will be introduced in the form of group projects. Marks are accumulated through chapter tests, in-class task, listening and oral test, dictation, group/individual projects and presentation.

By the end of the school year, students should be able to express basic greetings, count to 100, introduce themselves, friends, and family members, talk about their hobbies and favorite sports, and learn to use Chinese phonetic symbols (Pin-Yin Romanization). It is expected that students will have increased interests in learning and experiencing Chinese language and culture; meanwhile, students gain deeper understanding of their own and other cultures and develop intercultural sensitivity.

 

***Students with previous knowledge of Chinese, but have never taken Mandarin 9 or Beginner’s 11, should look at the course outline for Mandarin 9/10/11x to see if it fits them. If the criteria don’t fit them, they must take a placement test with the teacher before being enrolled in other Mandarin classes such as 10 or 11.
