Chinese - Intermediate I

All Genders Course;
Prerequisite - Successful completion of at least one year of high school Chinese; 
Full Year Course

Chinese – Intermediate I students continue to improve their Chinese skills by using both structured and created language. Cultural connections are made at appropriate intervals to familiarize students with the Chinese-speaking world. Students learn to initiate and participate in daily communication, and apply new vocabulary and more complex sentence patterns to fulfill the functions of expressing individual needs, describing circumstances, comparing the similarities and differences of phenomena, and demonstrating culturally contextualized understanding. Students improve character literacy, authentic language production, and cultural competency. A variety of audio, visual, and textual materials are carefully selected based on the interests and preferences of the students, which optimizes the effectiveness of the online personalized experience. This course aligns with Cheng and Tsui’s Integrated Chinese Level I, lessons six through 12. By the end of Chinese – Intermediate I, students are able to write journals, compose short Chinese songs and rhymes, share about topics related ​to their school life, and produce refined language freely at the paragraph level on essential social communication. Students who complete this course are prepared for Chinese - Intermediate II.
