Mandarin Chinese V

Mandarin Chinese V will begin with a review of Mandarin Chinese IV, and then will continue developing students’ communication skills through more complex grammatical concepts and extended vocabulary. Oral and listening skills will remain the main focus of learning, but additional emphasis will be placed on understanding culture, reading comprehension, and essay writing. Further cultural knowledge will be gained through class activities, discussions, websites, films, videos, songs, poems, short stories, and a variety of other authentic sources.
