Chinese

The Chinese section has two components: Chinese language (Modern Standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin) and Chinese culture.

The language component includes courses designed for students with no previous knowledge of Mandarin. The objective of these courses is to provide students with a solid foundation in pronunciation and grammar as well as proficiency in the four language skills of speaking, reading, listening and writing.

The culture component features a course in Chinese Civilization. This course surveys Chinese beliefs and philosophy, family and society, science and technology, literature and art, in both historic and present-day contexts. The objective is to help students gain an insight into the perspectives, assumptions and principles that underlie various Chinese cultural traditions and develop an in-depth understanding why Chinese civilization has taken the course it has and how it became the world's most continuous civilization.
