Curriculum 課程
It is the Chinese Language Center's philosophy that you cannot isolate a language from the culture that lies behind it. Therefore, our aim with cultural courses is to bring students into contact with a variety of aspects of Chinese culture in a lively and active way.
We ultimately hope that some students may develop a lasting interest in one of the many facets of this culture.
Courses Offered 課程提供
Our program offers nine levels of Mandarin (Level 1 - 9). We place great emphasis on the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing in all of our required classes. To further cater your individual needs, we offer numerous electives, ranging from Taiwanese, Simplified Characters. Business Chinese and Word Processing, to Chinese Literature, Chinese History and Culture, which will enable you to have a total educational experience that is tailor-made for you. We use Modern Chinese as the main textbooks for study, and we mainly focus on traditional Chinese characters.
Here is a complete list of our course titles. The courses opened each quarter are determined upon the feedback provided by our students in our questionnaire.
