Developed in conjunction with the Chinese Flagship Program at Indiana University, the Workshop's Level 2 Chinese course is an intensive immersion program equivalent to the 2nd-Year Chinese sequence in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University.
This course is designed for students with Intermediate Low proficiency who wish to solidify their speaking, reading, and writing skills. Students who complete the course successfully will reach Intermediate Mid proficiency or better.
Working with carefully selected materials, students will develop the linguistic and cultural skills they need in order to function effectively in a Chinese-speaking environment and successfully navigate day-to-day interactions. They will be able to understand the main ideas of news, videos, podcasts, chats, stories, articles, etc. dealing with familiar topics.
Chinese 2 combines 4 hours a day of formal classroom instruction, 30 minutes a day of one-on-one skills training, and daily Chinese-language activities led by facilitators from across the Chinese-speaking world.
