If your long-time goal is to become a true bilingual of English and Chinese, this course will be the next great step you take.  This course focuses on how to read effectively, write clearly and coherently through 1) learning both semi-formal and formal vocabulary, modern idiomatic expressions, advanced sentence structures and the major features that define the advanced Chinese that native speakers use; 2) practicing persuasive writing about the different aspects of Chinese culture or Cornell’s campus life that interest you; 3) and completing a book of your own in Chinese as your project that documents the learning that takes place during the semester.  This course helps students further solidify the foundation for their Chinese study for their next level as well as enhance their ability for cross-cultural communications.
