Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This course is an optional course of Chinese. This semester we plan to study the 1st to 6th texts on the "Successful Road to Success" which covers daily life and campus life. Through one semester of studying, students can lay a solid foundation in grammar and improve their skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Course Content:

The six texts taught in this semester are: Lesson 1 "Your cell phone was turned off", Lesson 2 "She bought quite a few pieces of handicraft", Lesson 3 "I want to rent an apartment", lesson 4"Let’s go out to eat in a restaurant", Lesson 5 "I’ve been watching TV the whole evening" and Lesson 6 "Could you help me find a language parter?"
Each lesson includes four parts: text, new words, grammar explanations, exercises and comprehensive exercises. The teaching process is basically divided into the following four steps: First, recognizing the new words and understanding the meaning and usage of the new words. Second, explaining the language points. The explanation of the language points is carried out in three steps according to the order of the teaching materials: introduction, explanation and practice. The first is to use the image to import language points, then explain the language points, show the structural form and usage requirements of the language points in the example sentences, and finally carry out more targeted exercises. Third, studying the text. The text is the focus of learning. Students are required to listen repeatedly and read repeatedly to help students learn basic Chinese expression and form an effective Chinese language sense. After completing the lesson, complete the practice of retelling the text and train the ability to generate paragraphs. Fourth, complete the after-school exercises. According to the specific level of the students, select the appropriate exercises to complete.
