The intro course is an intensive course that provides students with
knowledge of the basic elements with regards to syntax, grammar,
and colloquial speech. The course will help the student build a
basic vocabulary enabling him/her to communicate in basic everyday
Chinese.
The course offers classes in various linguistic disciplines such as
grammar, speaking, listening, writing, reading, and will give the
student the best prerequisite to start on Year 1 at ASP.Teaching is
based on textbooks as well as audio inputs corresponding to a
beginner's level. |
| Teaching methods |
Teaching methods are a mix of lectures and group
work guided by cooperative learning principles that engage each
student to a maximum extent. Some classes take place in the
multimedia lab where each student is able train listening
comprehension and practise pronunciation.
The introductory course is a demanding full-time study. Active
class participation as well as the submission of a number of home
assignments are expected. We warmly encourage the students to form
smaller study groups. |
