Course Description |
This course is to build a preliminary foundation in spoken Chinese for the students within limited time and enable them to communicate in the target language for some basic functions. 250 most frequently used Chinese characters will also be taught. Meanwhile passing HSK 2 is an optional target. This course is also helpful to those who want to study Chinese language in depth in the future. No prerequisite is required. By completing this course, students will have a vocabulary size of 500 words and reach the proficiency level of HSK 2, and be able to communicate with Chinese people fluently in most topics.
The course has the full support of a MOOC (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/learn-mandarin), and can be delivered in the “flipped classroom” mode, which is efficient for both face-to-face and distant learning. The MOOC has been certified as a “national high-quality undergraduate course” by the Ministry of Education of China. |
