Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the basic elements of phonetics, writing and the basic sentence structure of the Chinese language. The aim is to introduce students to the elementary spoken and written Chinese, creating the conditions for an autonomous use of the putonghua (Standard Chinese). At the end of the course the student will be able to interact in simple conversations on daily life, to read and understand short and simple texts and will also have acquired the basic syntactic structures of the simple sentence and the formative principles of the Chinese characters, their classification and their structure. Students at the end of the course will have achieved a level of linguistic and lexical knowledge corresponding to an HSK2 certificate, ie an A2 level in the international classification.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Fundamentals of grammatical parse.

Program

The course focusses on the study of basic linguistic aspects, both at the level of morphology and at the level of syntax. Notions about the Chinese language and its history, the history of its writing system and linguistic aspects are also covered. Exercitations focus on communication skills. Students’ participation to classes does not affect the focus of the course.

Didactic methods

Classes are taught in person, unless otherwise stipulated. We will use PPTs and other teaching material that will be uploaded to Moodle or otherwise pointed to the students.
Attendance is strongly recommended: any missed classes can be made up using the teaching materials provided for this course. Specific questions concerning the content of the class one may have missed may be asked to the teacher during his office hour.

Learning assessment procedures

The final examination consists of two tests: a written test, and an oral test.
The written test focuses on theoretical-practical skills (grammar, translation, general knowledge of Chinese linguistics, etc.) as well as on other communication skills such as writing and listening. The oral test focuses on speaking skills. The written test has an approximate duration of 120 minutes. The oral test has an approximate duration of 30 minutes.
