Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Building on "Academic Language I," this course introduces additional academic Chinese texts on various topics. Students will be guided to analyze these texts, to present them in class in written and oral form briefly, and to discuss them. Furthermore, the course aims to practice researching and working with academic Chinese texts to effectively utilize them for seminar and master theses. Specific academic Chinese expressions and linguistic structures will be presented and analyzed. With the support of the instructor, students will work on various Chinese tasks in peers/ groups and provide mutual feedback. At the end of the course, a seminar paper or master thesis in an abbreviated form will be written in Chinese and presented orally to be discussed and evaluated.

The final grade is composed as follows:
