Third-Year Modern Chinese I in Beijing

A four-week summer intensive language course taught on the campus of Beijing Normal University in Beijing, China. This course introduces the complex fabric that makes up modern China. Through texts in Eyes on China (C.P. Chou, Jincheng Liu, and Xin Zou, Princeton University Press), students learn the vocabulary needed to discuss various issues that people face in contemporary China and the United States, as presented in Chinese media. Using multimedia materials, this course level aims to elevate students' output from sentence level to short paragraph level, both in speaking and writing.
