This is the continuing instruction in spoken and written Chinese, with particular emphasis on consolidating basic conversational skills and improving reading confidence and depth. Lab work is required. Intermediate Chinese I, II and III form a sequence; the Fall semester subject 21.F103 is prerequisite for the Spring. Students who have completed the streamlined sequence 21F.107-108 are not normally eligible for this subject.

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to speak Chinese with some fluency on basic conversational topics, achieve a basic level of reading competence within simplified and traditional characters learned plus common compounds, and be able to write short compositions.

Classes consist of a combination of lecture, drill practice, discussion, reading comprehension practice, listening comprehension practice, situational dialogue practice, and language games. The course covers eight lessons from Lesson 10 to Lesson18.

Required Learning Materials

1. David and Helen in China --- An Intermediate Chinese Course (by Phyllis N. Zhang with Yuann-yuann Meng, Donald K. Chang, and Irene R. Liu. East Asian Languages & Culture. New York: Columbia University.).
2. Hand-out readings (will be given beforehand).

Student Responsibilities

Students are expected to preview, read the assigned reading(s) and learn the assigned characters, paragraphs, patterns before classes, and to participate actively in class discussions. Students are encouraged to discuss on reading assignments. Students will be expected to hand in assigned homework, portfolio on the due date.
