Chinese Reading and Conversation *Online*

This course assumes that students have completed at least 110 hours of Chinese class time, or 8 terms at CCAE. It expects students to recognize many of the characters of Yong Ho's two textbooks. It uses Pinyin infrequently and only for new vocabulary. It will assign students to read short stories from the Graded Chinese Reader 500 words: Selected Abridged Chinese Contemporary Mini-stories (ISBN 978-7-5138-0345-8). The class time will be divided between reading some passages aloud and answering discussion questions in Chinese, as well as covering certain vocabulary usage and grammar points relevant to the stories.
