040089 KU Sprachlabor 1 a (2023W)

The purpose of this course is to get to know the Pinyin system of Chinese and to be able to pronounce characters and words in their correct initials, finals, and tones.
Listening and recognizing the correct sound is also essential in the course.
During the course, you will listen and imitate the pronunciation of the learning material related to the "new words" and "dialogues" in the book "Practical Chinese" (same material as Modern Chinese). Individual corrections of the pronunciation will be done each time during the course. Pronunciation games will be integrated.

On Moodle-Platform, you will find the learning materials one week before the course starts. The learning materials contain the text (Lesson 1-Lesson 10), new words, exercises for pronunciation and audio data.

The course will be held on-site.

Regarding the learning of Speaking Lab, here is what we are going to do next:

1. You will see all learning materials, including audio data for key points of the learning materials on the Moodle platform.

2. You will be divided into small groups of 7-8 people and get individual pronunciation corrections weekly.

3. You will receive a dictation every two weeks

4. If you have any questions, please post on the discussion forum on Moodle so that I or other students can answer your questions. (Please do not send me an Email because your question could be a common question for all other students, and the discussion on that question could be a valuable learning process for all of you.)
