This course is designed to further strengthen students’ proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with greater emphasis on reading and writing, and to prepare them for more advanced study of Mandarin. A communicative approach continues to be used to deepen students’ understanding of vocabulary and language structures through meaningful, real-life contexts.

Authentic materials and cultural content are integrated throughout the course to support language development and to foster a deeper understanding of Chinese-speaking cultures and perspectives. Through a variety of activities, students refine their ability to communicate with greater accuracy and complexity, using a broader range of vocabulary and more developed sentence structures.

This course is aligned with the ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.
