課程內容和目標 Course Description and Objectives  Chinese 202 is the 2^nd half of a yearlong intermediate level course in Modern Standard Chinese (Mandarin). Class will be conducted primarily in Chinese. You will experience a slightly heightened pace with more reading and speaking practices. The instructor expects all students to put forth more effort than in any of their previous Chinese courses, and will push every student to reach his or her utmost potential in mastering the materials. Many students at the level plan to study abroad, and the coursework aims to prepare the learners for further immersion programs as well as upper 200-level courses (Chinese 230, 250 and 260). Strong motivation and daily preparation will ensure a successful learning experience in this class. Students should be prepared to participate, comment and contribute ideas in every class and during group discussion sessions, and follow up with assigned homework exercises. Instructor will use a variety of strategies to facilitate comprehension and enhance communication.

This second-year course in Standard Mandarin Chinese is a continuation of Chinese 101-102. Approximately 55 classroom contact hours will be allocated for each semester. Classes meet three days a week plus one 50-min discussion/lab session. The primary objectives of the course are:

1. To provide students more comprehensive knowledge and more practice on basic sentence patterns and grammatical points;
2. To improve and enhance speaking, listening, reading and writing skills; in particular, with an emphasis on developing communicative skills in order to carry out conversations on a range of topics related to daily life;
3. To develop further understanding of Chinese culture and societies, and prepare students for possible study abroad experience;

To further familiarize students with the use of technologies (online dictionaries, corpora, and mobile apps) in their language study.

課程要求 Course Requirements Regular and punctual attendances as well as active participation in all classes are expected of all students. Chinese is especially challenging for beginners whose native language is English and other European languages. Students in the class need to be ready to make a commitment of spending at least 8 hours per week studying outside of class, including previewing, preparing, and reviewing assignments, and in appointments with the tutor, if needed. Group projects and other assigned teamwork will require additional time for collaboration. You will be eased into the course as the fall semester proceeds and will experience a heightened pace in Chinese 102 in the spring. Strong motivation and daily preparation will ensure a successful learning experience in this class.

學習成果 Learning Outcomes The following list, taken from the 2015 ACTFL Can-Do Statements, describes the specific language tasks that learners are likely to perform at the Intermediate High level of proficiency. Students in Chinese 202 will aim to achieve the highest intermediate level in all five areas of skills, however, learners will find that some skills can be achieved faster than others. We will use the Checklists for ACTFL Intermediate Low | Mid | High to set individual goals for students at different proficiency levels in this course.

1. Interpersonal Communication: I can participate with ease and confidence in conversations on familiar topics. I can usually talk about events and experiences in various time frames. I can usually describe people, places, and things. I can handle social interactions in everyday situations, sometimes even when there is an unexpected complication.
2. Presentational Speaking: I can make presentations in a generally organized way on school, work, and community topics, and on topics I have researched. I can make presentations on some events and experiences in various time frames.
3. Presentational Writing: I can write on topics related to school, work, and community in a generally organized way. I can write some simple paragraphs about events and experiences in various time frames.
4. Interpretive Listening: I can easily understand the main idea in messages and presentations on a variety of topics related to everyday life and personal interests and studies. I can usually understand a few details of what I overhear in conversations, even when something unexpected is expressed. I can sometimes follow what I hear about events and experiences in various time frames.
5. Interpretive Reading: I can easily understand the main idea of texts related to everyday life, personal interests, and studies. I can sometimes follow stories and descriptions about events and experiences in various time frames.

上課紀律和學生參與 Class Rules and Student Participation

• Plan to arrive to class on time and to stay for the entire class period (or until dismissed).
• Avoid late arrivals and early exits, as they will count as absences unless valid excuses are provided.
• Do not eat or chew gums during class as it will be difficult for you to speak up with clarity and promptness.
• Cell phones should always be set on vibrate.
• You are allowed to use electronic devices (laptops, iPads or smartphones) in class for course-related work; however, do not check email, Facebook, Twitter, type other papers or browse unrelated web sites.
• Always ask for permission if you need to leave the room while class is in session.

Regular and punctual attendances as well as active participation in all classes/discussion sessions are expected of all students. Students in the class need to be ready to make a commitment of spending at least 6 hours per week studying outside of class, including previewing, preparing, and reviewing assignments, and in appointments with the tutor/instructor, if needed. Group projects and other assigned teamwork will require additional time for collaboration. Strong motivation and daily preparation will ensure a successful learning experience in this class.

Second year of Chinese requires more individual effort so students can progress according to their slightly varied proficiency levels and linguistic backgrounds. Coursework tends to be project based and it is crucial to follow assignment schedule and submit work ON TIME!

小組討論課 Small Group Discussion Session 202 students will be divided into smaller groups (no more than six students in each group) to meet with the instructor for a 50-min group discussion session. Discussions will start during the 2^nd week of class, and will correspond to the lesson topic. Task completion as well as oral competence will be the focus of these smaller group sessions, which include teacher-guided and student-led conversations, questions and answers, oral translation, impromptu skits/presentations and other listening and speaking activities as well as group or individual projects. Since student participation and performance are graded each time, it is most important to be punctual, and not to miss a single session. Making up such sessions are not possible so students should make every effort to come to their assigned sessions fully prepared.

上課出席缺席規定   Attendance Policies  (MWF three days of class plus one discussion session per week)  Your preparation and participation are a major part of your class performance. Complete the assignments according to the designate schedules and turn in for grading if asked. You should always hand in homework on time. The instructor will accept late homework assignments but can only assign late grades as penalties.

• You are expected to be in class on time every day. Being more than ten minutes late (without a valid excuse) counts as half an absence; 20 minutes an absence.
• You are allowed two unexcused absences per semester. Each additional absence beyond this (three or more) may adversely affect your final grade. Always ask for permission in advance for classes you will have to miss and make appropriate arrangements for missed work. In case of illness, only those who provide documentation will be excused.
• Three unexcused absences will prevent you from receiving an A, five will prevent you from receiving a B, and eight will prevent you from receiving a passing grade C- for this class.
• If you know that you will miss a class, email or voice mail your instructor of the day as soon as possible, preferably before class to facilitate any make-up arrangement. You or a friend can stop by the office to pick up handouts that you missed.
• It is your responsibility to obtain class notes and prepare any work assigned or due during the period of your absence. You should always contact a classmate FIRST to obtain class notes and any other information you need to make up for missed work.

學術誠信規範 Academic Integrity In addition to the above classroom rules, students are expected to do original work for all course assignments, including exams. Students are responsible for their own conduct and all cases of dishonesty (copying homework, looking over and copy from others’ tests, and any other form of cheating), will be reported to the proper university officials. Please read about Academic Integrity to make sure you fully comprehend what violations might be, and in addition, all students are expected to adhere to University policies regarding the Student Integrity Code.

中國文化 Cultural Notes A broad spectrum of life in modern Chinese societies will be introduced as we proceed with each lesson in the book. Cultural notes and multimedia materials regarding Chinese traditions and customs will also be incorporated. Check out Chinese Cultural Notes for links to various web resources. Co-curricular events and field trips related to Chinese culture and often involving the local Chinese communities are held throughout the semester.

特殊情況學生輔助 Accommodations If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact Peggy Perno, Director of the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations, 105 Howarth, 253.879.3395. She will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.

校園緊急狀況 Emergency Please review university emergency preparedness, response procedures and a training video posted atwww.pugetsound.edu/emergency/. There is a link on the university home page. Familiarize yourself with hall exit doors and the designated gathering area for your class and laboratory buildings. If building evacuation becomes necessary (e.g. earthquake), meet your instructor at the designated gathering area so she/he can account for your presence. Then wait for further instructions. Do not return to the building or classroom until advised by a university emergency response representative. If confronted by an act of violence, be prepared to make quick decisions to protect your safety. Flee the area by running away from the source of danger if you can safely do so. If this is not possible, shelter in place by securing classroom or lab doors and windows, closing blinds, and turning off room lights. Lie on the floor out of sight and away from windows and doors. Place cell phones or pagers on vibrate so that you can receive messages quietly. Wait for further instructions.
