Chinese Language, Basic, Part III (formerly Beginning Chinese, Part III) is a continuation of Chinese Language, Basic, Part II. Students continue to reinforce listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Our emphasis in this course is on conversation skills. By the end of the three Chinese Language Basic courses, students will be able to manage most colloquial expressions and will be on the right track to speak Chinese accurately and fluently. By the end of this Chinese Language, Basic, Part III, course, the student will be able to perform the following rubrics:

• Listening and speaking skills. Students should become more comfortable with Chinese customs and will be able to communicate about daily tasks with Chinese people.
• Writing skills. Students should be able to recognize and write most of the Chinese characters and the pinyin mastered.
• Reading skills. Students should be able to read short story books.
• Grammar skills. Students will develop basic grammar and sentence structure skills.

Students interact with the instructors and other students using Internet-based software. The course materials include a textbook, workbook, and CD-ROM.

The tentative schedule for online interactive sessions is:

Monday and Wednesday, from 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm (EST).

This schedule may be adjusted in the future.

Separate conversation sessions between each student and the instructor or teaching assistant are arranged individually.
