Chinese II (Regular)Continuation of 21F.101. For full description, see 21F.101. For graduate credit see 21F.152. Description from course home page: This subject is the second semester of two that form an introduction to modern standard Chinese, commonly called Mandarin. Though not everyone taking this course will be an absolute beginner, the course presupposes only 21F.101/151, the beginning course in the sequence. The purpose of this course is to develop: (a) basic conversational abilities (pronunciation, fundamental grammatical patterns, common vocabulary, and standard usage); (b) basic reading skills (in both the traditional character set and the simplified); (c) an understanding of the way the Chinese writing system is structured, and the ability to copy and write characters; and (d) a sense of what learning a language like Chinese entails, and the sort of learning processes that it involves, so students are able to continue studying effectively on their own. The main text is J. K. Wheatley's Learning Chinese: A Foundation Course in Mandarin, part II (unpublished, but available online). (Part I of the book forms the basis of 21F.101/151, which is also published on OpenCourseWare.)OCW Master Course Number21F.102OCW Linked Course Number21F.152enLOMv1.04Spring 2006OCW_LOMv1.0AuthorWheatley, Julian2009-12-20LOMv1.0WARNING: //Relation/Kind expected to be one of ( 'isbasedon' | 'hasversion' | 'haspart' | 'Is Part Of' )AV Special element audioDemonstrationStudy Materials; exercises; file count: 15; file formats: mp3LOMv1.0haspartOnline textbooksPDFLOMv1.0isbasedonURIhttp://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/36878Spring 2005 version of this course/OcwWeb/Foreign-Languages-and-Literatures/21F-102Spring-2006/CourseHome/index.htmLOMv1.0browserLOMv1.0ms-internet explorer5.1LOMv1.0browserLOMv1.0netscape communicator4.7OCW_LOMv1.0GraduateOCW_LOMv1.0UndergraduateLOMv1.0yesThis site (c) Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2003.
