5.00 Credits
This course introduces Mandarin Chinese language based on the knowledge of basic skills and strategies in listening, speaking, reading and writing in a general Mandarin speaking environment. It is to equip students to be achieved through a theme-based and function-based approach, but also by focusing on grammar whenever necessary. The China's culture and history are also important components of the course. At the end of the term, students are expected to be able to communicate some basic personal information, both oral and written. They will read and write simplified Chinese characters and learn some key components of Chinese culture and general knowledge of Chinese history. The course will also prepare students for further studies in Chinese. This course consists of five hours per week of instruction and in-class discussion in addition to homework, tape assignments, and on-line practice. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 8) 5C/4/1/0
