CHIN 40.04 Advanced Chinese for Commerce and Economics

This course will improve students’ four communication skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), with a particular emphasis on speaking and writing, while also introducing students to an array of authentic and relevant economy-related topics and materials in Chinese. Course materials will include essays, dialogues, business cases and newspaper articles, as well as supplementary audio-visual materials. Students will learn about the general economic and business environment in China, and will use the case study method to gain insights into the business models of specific, influential Chinese companies and international firms that have successfully entered the Chinese market. The course will further develop students’ Chinese proficiency at an advanced level. The combination of textbook and supplementary readings, and topic-based knowledge beyond “pure language” will achieve the goal of enhancing both students’ language ability and their understanding of the world of Chinese business.
