Learning outcomes
|
The course is aimed at students who do not yet have the experience of living and studying in China (i.e. especially the students of the first two years of the Bachelor's degree). The course is taught by a Chinese native speaker and uses materials dedicated to practical conversation (textbooks, movies, TV shows etc.) to prepare the students for their life in China. The students shall gain a better understanding of the Chinese cultural background and shall prepare for the real communicative situations, which they will be encountering during their studies in China.
