Chinese Language for Work 3
About This Course
OGP381 Chinese Language for Work 3 aims to provide students with the necessary vocabulary and skills for business communication and to enable them to become effective and confident users of Mandarin in work settings in China. The focus, content, objectives, materials, teaching and assessment in the course will be based on specific language needs in the business context. The course will be delivered through synchronous, online instruction with small groups of students to ensure an optimum learning experience. Feedback on individual performance in each lesson helps students correct their errors immediately. Pre-lesson and post-lesson tasks help students focus on new knowledge gained, and reinforce and practise new vocabulary and grammatical structures learned. At the end of the course, students will be more aware of Chinese communicative norms and be proficient in business communication in Mandarin. The course assessments include a quiz assessing students’ cultural knowledge, a group-based assignment, an individual assignment and an oral exam.
