Builds upon the foundation of CHIN206, advancing students' proficiency in both spoken and written Mandarin at the intermediate level through culturally rich, context-driven learning. Emphasizing language as a form of social interaction, the course deepens students' understanding of Chinese pragmatics--how to use Mandarin appropriately across diverse social contexts. Through a task-based, communicative approach, students engage in real-world scenarios such as course enrollment, intercultural dialogue, and campus life interactions, while exploring the cultural nuances behind everyday expressions like greetings. Role-centered activities and a language exchange program with Chinese speakers foster reflection and intercultural competence, empowering learners to navigate Chinese-speaking environments with confidence and cultural sensitivity.
