Course Description

This course builds on the foundational material introduced in the previous level. It continues the exploration of the language and cultures of Mandarin-speaking countries and communities.

Mandarin will remain the primary language of instruction. Emphasis will continue to be placed on language as both an expression of culture and a medium of communication.
