In the third semester of our Chinese course we will continue to acquire elementary skills

patterns. Lesson 15-17 in the textbook ―New Practical Chinese Reader 2‖ will form the
basis of this semester‘s course.

In semester III we repeat some aspects of the first two semesters (New Practical Chinese
Reader 1) and work on Lesson 15-17 in the textbook ―New Practical Chinese Reader 2‖.
This will form the basis material for the Midterm and Final exam.
One specific of this semester‘s course is that it will partely held via e-learning, in order to
allow students abroad to follow the course. However there will be two blocked meetings
in January where students already returned from their exchange semester can follow the
course face to face and take the exam which will be held in our last session of this
academic semester. The last session will also be an opportunity for feedback and for
exchange with the students who chose to take the regulary exam.
Since a large part of this semester‘s course will be done via e-learning the focus is laid
upon training perceptive skills with listening texts. Productive skills of written language
will be trained by writing short texts and typical dialogues on a range of everyday topics.
Thematic areas and Grammar include:
