Students continue to build their mastery of commonly used vocabulary and grammatical structures. They also begin to be trained for advanced level language usage. Chinese IV introduces formal and written expressions and increases students’ “media literacy”. Topics are expanded to more abstract and more societal phenomena to help students better understand current Chinese society and be able to discuss, compare, and analyze cultural differences. Students will also be exposed to various communicative situations that require them to develop and use skills such as basic summary, description, discussion, debate, and report.
