Advanced Chinese Grammar

Through theory and practice, students develop skills in mastering and applying Chinese at an advanced level. Students focus on the Chinese phonetic system, the writing system, vocabulary, grammatical terms for words and phrases, sentence components, sentence patterns, and punctuation marks. This course is designed for students who are fluent in Mandarin or one of the Chinese dialects, and who can read and write Chinese comfortably at an intermediate level (e.g. students who completed elementary school or higher in China or Taiwan).

Prerequisite(s): Before registering in this course, a student should have completed a second-year college Chinese course or equivalent, e.g. completion of six years of elementary school or more in China or Taiwan, and know about 2000 Chinese characters.
