Chinese Ii and Mediation

This course aims to consolidate the knowledge of written and spoken Chinese. Notably, it will explore the main grammar and morphosyntactic structures of the language, with in-depth explanations of theoretical notions (sometimes distant from the ones studied at school), examples and comments. Phonetics, writing, listening and communication skills will remain the focus of teaching activities held by the mother-tongue instructor. Students will also be taught how to use a paper dictionary.

By the end of the course, students will be able to identify, analyse and use the main grammar and morphosyntactic structures in different discourses. Moreover, they will be able to read and translate texts of the textbook from Chinese, as well as to produce short oral and written texts, making proficient use of their newly acquired abilities. The knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course will give access to the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) level 2.
