This accelerated 9th grade Introduction to Chinese class is designed to introduce students to spoken and written Chinese (Mandarin), beginning with the sounds of Chinese and their representation in the pinyin Romanization system. This class focuses on conversation, structural analysis, and an introduction to character texts. Instruction of the material is given in English, however, the students participate in Chinese conversation during each class. Listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills are developed through lessons and practice. Students will use Chinese computer programs to reinforce grammar, vocabulary, and verb conjugations. Exercises in translation and reading material are also incorporated into lessons and homework to engage the students in Chinese grammar.
