This subject aims to develop a high level of competence that enables advanced students to communicate with explicit knowledge of Chinese society and culture. The subject further develops students' language skills through close reading of non-authentic and authentic texts in Chinese language. These skills will be demonstrated by the application of complex vocabulary and grammatical techniques. A systematic examination of cultural practices and social etiquette will enable effective communication with Chinese speakers.
