Lecture Plan for G4 Chinese (2013-2014)

Lecturer: Dr Youxuan Wang
Lector: Ms Yen Chiu

For this unit, we will use the textbook New Practical Chinese Reader, vol. 4. There are 12 chapters in this textbook, starting from lesson 39. We will spend two weeks on each lesson throughout the academic year.
The texts come in two main genres: dialogue and prose. The dialogues are dramatised, and the prose texts are animated in audio and/or video media. Please read the printed texts and internalise the script of the characters. Please make use of the multimedia materials to develop listening and speaking skills.
When studying the texts, students should pay particular attention to the linguistic issues and communicative skills that are identified and practised in class. 

Lecture notes will be uploaded and hyperlinks will added to the table during the course of the academic year.
