Teaching Methods
Language means communication, thus teaching principles are guided by a communicative
and interactive approach which emphasises the strong relation between language and
culture. Apart from explanations by the teacher, as much time as possible shall be used
for practicing Chinese language skills and thereby getting a further glimpse of the various
aspects of Chinese culture.
Another important aim of the course is to teach methods for reading Chinese texts.
Students will get familiar with online resources such as dictionaries, transliteration tools
(characters to Pinyin) which will help them to work on their language skills also after
completion of the course.
