Course Description
The purpose of this course: strengthen students’ Chinese language skills (including listening, speaking, reading and writing) from the level of TOCFL Band B2 to Band C1. Also, students will learn to transfer between different language styles from modern vernacular Chinese to Classical Chinese. By doing so, students can expect to better their translation skills and to meet the requirement of accuracy, elegance and fluency.
Training method: Students will read Chinese academic essays and capture some of the characteristics of academic language style in Chinese (such as vocabulary, syntax and word meaning)。Next, the course provides drills with formulaic speech practice, including oral presentation in class and writing practice afterward. By doing so, it is expected that students can sharpen the four language skills at the same time. TOCFL B2 has three objectives: 1. Being able to clearly describe a topic, experience or an event in detail. 2. Provide one’s own opinion toward common issues with organized explanation. 3. Being able to come up with clear arguments and provide examples to support the arguments. To reach C1, the goal descriptions are as follow: 1. Describe details clearly. Combine secondary topics and give proper conclusion. 2. Respond to counter-arguments fluently and persuasively in proper manner. 3. Use examples, explanations and reasoning to develop and support one’s own arguments.
