Class Details
The goal of this course is to help students with prior background in Spoken Chinese to develop reading and writing skills in basic Chinese. The target audience of this course is students who already know how to speak Mandarin Chinese through high school, Chinese weekend schools, self-study, or home, but need to learn the basic reading and writing skills. The course introduces the basics of the Chinese Writing System (including information on radicals, character components, and stroke order) and helps students reach the basic literacy level of 300 commonly used characters (approximately 700 common words). By the end of the course, students will be able to read simple stories and write short notes. The course is conducted in Chinese and emphasizes the parallel development of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural skills.
