for students who have completed Beginning Chinese 101, and for those who have had
the equivalent of one semester’s Beginning Chinese at another institution. We
will continue to focus on both the oral and written aspects of the language.
Regular work in the language lab and private drill sessions with the tutor are
required. An 8-week summer immersion
program in Qingdao, China will follow this course. Upon successful completion of the summer program, the students
will receive six credits. (Financial aid is available for qualified students to
cover part of the cost of the summer program. See Prof. Ying for details.) On-line registration

This course is a continuation of the film course
offered in the fall. With the primary goal of enhancing the speaking,
listening, reading and writing skills of the fourth year Chinese language
student, this course closely examines films from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong,
exploring through lectures and discussion such topics as the origin of Chinese
cinema, nationalism and revolution, the genre of social realism, the cinematic
representation of contemporary and recreated historical themes vis-à-vis
portrayals offered in literary and historical sources, the search for roots in
the post-Mao era, nativist film and literature, the Fifth Generation and
experimental fiction and film, Hong Kong popular culture in the commercial age,
feminism and sexuality, and representations of exile, diaspora and the new immigrants.
Conducted in Chinese. On-line registration
