課程內容和目標Course Description and Objectives This
intermediate course in Standard Mandarin Chinese is a continuation of Chinese
201. Approximately 55 classroom contact hours will
be allocated. Classes meet three days a week plus one 50-min
discussion/lab session. The primary
objectives of the course are: Ø To provide students more
comprehensive knowledge and more practice on basic sentence patterns and
grammatical points; Ø To improve and enhance
speaking, listening, reading and writing skills; in particular, with an
emphasis on developing communicative skills in order to carry out
conversations on a range of topics related to daily life; Ø To develop further
understanding of Chinese culture and societies, and prepare students for
possible study abroad experience; Ø To further familiarize
students with CALL (computer-assisted language learning), and to guide
students for efficient application of CALL into their studies. 課程要求Course Requirement Class will be conducted primarily in Chinese. Regular and punctual attendance
as well as active participation in all classes will be expected of all
students. A group discussion/lab session (4-5 students) will be scheduled on
a weekly basis in lieu of one of the four weekly classes. Meeting times for
these smaller sessions will be determined upon consideration of the
participants’ individual schedules. Please
do not eat or chew gums during class as it will be difficult for you to speak
up with clarity and promptness. Your participation is graded daily. We will utilize the
electronic turn-around classroom for computer-based individual and group work
during class sometime. You may bring your own laptop to class; however, you
should only use the computer for class-related work. Do not use the computer
to check email, type other papers or to browse unrelated web sites. 網上口語練習chinese4u.edublogs.org

Policies (M W F 3 days of class plus lab session per week) Classes will be conducted
mainly in Chinese. Do not hesitate to approach the instructor at the end of
the class to clarify any questions you may have. Students are not only
expected to speak up when called on but to actively participate in class and
to communicate in Chinese at all times with their instructor and classmates.
Students' efforts in expressing themselves in Chinese will be evaluated as
part their class performance grade. You are expected to spend 10
hours per week for
study outside of class, including preview, review and appointments with
tutors.
Group/partner projects may be assigned and the teamwork will require
additional time for collaboration. You should be prepared to actively
participate in class discussions and projects. Your preparation and
participation are a major part of your class performance. Complete the assignments according to the designate
schedules and turn in for grading if asked. If you have to miss a class when
an assignment is due, ask someone to bring it in to the class. You can also
drop it by the office (Wyatt 246) or place it in the mailbox in Wyatt 233.
Please note that offices are open between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. You
should always hand in homework on time. The instructor will accept late
homework assignments but can only assign late grades as penalties. Ø You are expected to be in class on time everyday. Being more than ten
minutes late (without a valid excuse) counts as half an absence; 20 minutes
an absence. Ø You are allowed two unexcused absences per semester. Each unexcused
absence beyond this (three or more) will adversely affect your final grade.
Always ask for permission in advance for classes you will have to miss and
make appropriate arrangements for missed work. In case of illness, only those
who provide documentation will be excused. Ø Three unexcused absences will prevent you from receiving an A, six will
prevent you from receiving a B, and ten will prevent you from receiving a
passing grade C- for this class. Ø If you know that you will miss a class, email or voice mail your
instructor of the day as soon as possible, preferably before class to
facilitate any make-up arrangement. You or a friend can stop by the office to
pick up handouts that you missed. Ø It is your responsibility to obtain class notes and prepare any work
assigned or due during the period of your absence. In the event that you are not
able to reach the instructor to check for missed work, you should know how to
contact a classmate to obtain the information you need. 小老師輔導時間Tutoring Chinese

and Learning (Howarth 105). Tutoring is free of charge for all enrolled students. You can make an
individual appointment, or just come by during the drop-in hours. To make an

students enrolled in the same course. The tutor works closely with your class
instructors. Your progress and effort working with the tutor will be noted
