Chinese 1A

About This Course

This course is the first in a two-course sequence and is designed for students who have no or limited prior experience in learning Chinese. This course focuses on introducing basic knowledge about Chinese language, pinyin system, and Chinese characters. Topics in this level include greetings, family members, dates and times, hobbies, and visiting friends. Using a flipped design, students will be instructed to complete preview and review activities asynchronously with a suggested pacing-guide. Students are also required to take a 50-minute lab session per week and interact with their instructor and classmates for synchronous learning.
