Chinese 103 is a continuation of Chinese 102. It aims to expand existing skills in Mandarin Chinese speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The course assumes that students have successfully completed Chinese 102 or its high school equivalent, or have other previous exposure to Mandarin Chinese at the Novice High level. The course adopts the 5 Cs of American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)* as a framework focusing on Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Specifically, the course concentrates on interactive communication, essential grammatical structures, vocabulary and usages. Students learn communicative skills regarding such topics as asking directions, hosting parties, seeing a doctor, renting an apartment, sports and travel. *American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
