Description of the exam
procedure
The examination is based on the
teaching material from Fall semester
The exam consists in 5 parts:
- Reading aloud a text excerpt from syllabus
- Translation into English
- Syntactical analysis of a Chinese sentence (in English)
- Talking about the text excerpt in Chinese
- Engaging in a dialogue about topics related to
syllabus
The grade is based on an overall assessment of all 5
disciplines. |
|
| Course content and structure |
|
The focus of teaching is applied language use in order to enable
the student to communicate in elementary to lower intermediate
Chinese about general topics related to culture and society.
The course will provide a general introduction to appropriate
language and formality level governing social interaction. We
expand the range of vocabulary and Chinese characters according to
syllabus. Teaching is based on textbooks as well as audio input,
and the student will practice through speaking, reading,
translation and writing exercises.
|
| Teaching methods |
| Teaching is student-centered with an emphasis on
group work, which will be guided by cooperative learning principles
that aim at engaging each student to a maximum extent. The
languages of instruction are a combination of Chinese to
continuously stimulate and develop the student’s spoken fluency and
listening comprehension, and English when discussing grammar and
translating texts. Active involvement in group discussions and
activities is expected of all participants. |
