8cp; 4hpwRequisite(s): 97103 Chinese Language and Culture 3
This subject is designed for students who have successfully completed Chinese 3 or its equivalent. It further develops students' communicative competence to enable them to interact with native speakers of Chinese in a range of basic social situations. Great emphasis is placed on the introduction of more written texts which allow students to use Chinese characters more confidently. Students learn to understand extended speech and follow the lines of argument on reasonably familiar topics, and interact with Chinese speakers with a degree of fluency and spontaneity, participate in discussion and express personal viewpoints in familiar contexts. Students acquire approximately 1600 characters, and read and understand literary prose and articles concerned with contemporary problems. Students learn to write clear and detailed texts related to personal interests, and understand Chinese culture and Chinese ways of thinking.
Assessment: This subject has a combination of continuous assessment and final examinations for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Further details are available in the subject outline distributed in class during the first week of teaching.
