ACOM 390 - Advanced Language Topics: Chinese

Advanced Chinese Language Topics is an advanced Chinese language course that focuses on the development of language skills to advance students’ communication in Chinese. In conjunction with grammar, the course concentrates on situations in the business of fashion and the Chinese business terminology that one would apply in these situations. The course builds on the major verb tenses: the present, past and future along with the conditional mood. It incorporates a higher level of grammar concepts while cultivating students’ speaking, listening comprehension, writing and reading in Chinese so that students may express themselves in a more sophisticated manner. It is expected that students enter the course with a strong foundation at the intermediate level of Chinese and possess several years of high school Chinese. In addition to the language component, Chinese culture will thrive throughout the course as topics on Chinese ways of life and social issues are presented.
