95473 - Chinese Language and Linguistic Exercises 3 - A

Course contents

The Chinese language and linguistics exercises include lessons organised around four types of skills:

-listening comprehension: the ability to understand the communicative elements of a dialogue or speech;

-reading comprehension: the ability to understand the content of a written text;

-speaking: the ability to engage in effective dialogue with an interlocutor or to articulate an effective and correct speech;

-written production skills: the ability to write correct, comprehensible and effective texts.

The materials offered for comprehension and the topics proposed for production will initially be taken from the textbook Masini. F. et al. (2010). Il cinese per gli italiani. Corso intermedio, vol. II and subsequently from Masini. F. et al. (2023). Comunicare in cinese, vol. III Hoepli. In any case, they will respect the level proposed by the textbook. In addition, in the second semester, the teaching assistant will propose topics for creative writing, at a level appropriate for the class, with a view to possible publication on platforms such as social networks, social media, magazines and others.
