Chinese I

World Languages

This first-year course in Standard Chinese is for students who have no or very little prior experience in the language. Over the course of this first year, students will develop foundational skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, as well as gain basic understanding of Chinese culture. Students will learn Hanyu Pinyin (phonetic romanization) along with the four tones, in order to aid in proper pronunciation as well as enable students to digitally produce or type simplified characters. Computer-assisted technology and online course materials are an integral part of the instruction in this class. Students will acquire a strong foundation in basic Chinese language skills by the end of this first year. This course will follow National Standards for Foreign Language Education.
