Full-Year
PREREQ: Chinese proficiency - Novice Mid
The goal of Novice High Chinese is to progress from the Novice Mid to the Novice High level, as specified by ACTFL proficiency guidelines. The classroom experience is grounded in the four communicative skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The three modes of communication — interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational — provide the organizing principle for the course content. Students learn to complement their language skills with basic conjunctions and measure words in writing stories and speaking. Students develop a better understanding of the culture, its products (eg. literature, foods, games), perspectives (eg. attitudes, values), and practices (patterns of social interaction, festival traditions) throughout the course.
