Consolidation and enlargement of the Modern Chinese language competence (productive and receptive, written and oral) acquired in the first two semesters.
This comprises:
1. Productive and receptive knowledge of vocabulary and grammar structures. The emphasis is on translation of German into Chinese. You will also acquire a certain meta-knowledge of the Chinese language which enables you to analyze grammatical phenomena theoretically and contrastively.
2. Reading out and translation into German (or English) of texts written in simplified and traditional characters.
3. Correct handwriting of simplified OR traditional characters.
4. Knowledge of Chinese radicals (traditional list of Kangxi-Radicals).
5. Productive knowledge of Hanyu Pinyin, the official romanization system of the PRC.
6. Theoretical knowledge of relevant structures and the ability to produce the relevant terminology in Chinese.
Contents
- Thorough discussion of the following sections in each chapter: Kewen, Shengci, Zhushi, Yufa, and Lianxi (incl. Reading text). Within the section Lianxi we will select relevant exercises. Relevant chapters: Chapters 3 to 12 (In chapters 1 and 2 we will only analyze the section Yufa in regard to the functions of the particle "le"). A preliminary list of planned chapters will be provided on Moodle.
- Receptive knowledge of traditional characters.
- Traditional Radicals.
- Additional vocabulary: specialized terminology concerning grammar.
Methods and activities
Detailed analysis of the grammar and vocabulary used in the texts. Special emphasis is on contrastive language analysis (e.g. explanations and examples of the use of vocabulary and phrases).
Translation exercises.
Classroom work; pair work (closed pairs and open pairs); group work.
