Chinese IV (streamlined): Course Description
'Chinese IV (streamlined)' was designed for the Foreign Languages and Literatures Department at MIT by Professor Tong Chen. The original lecture course was conducted entirely in Mandarin. It was created for students who have previous conversational experience, but didn't acquire reading and writing skills in step with their spoken language ability. 'Chinese IV (streamlined)' is the fourth in a series of 'streamlined' courses designed for this unique type of student, and it consolidates the intermediate Chinese pronunciation, grammar, reading and writing skills that were introduced in the previous three classes. Special emphasis is placed on teaching students, who may have learned spoken Chinese in a colloquial setting, standard Mandarin grammar and word usage.
Course materials available through 'Chinese IV (streamlined)' OpenCourseWare include homework assignments, audio files for practice, downloadable grammar and word usage practice and links to related course content.
