ASTC 1030 Beginning Chinese for Heritage Learners I
Beginning Chinese for Heritage Learners I
This course is tailored to accommodate students who grew up in an environment in which Chinese is spoken by parents or guardians at home and for those who are familiar with the language and possess native-like abilities in comprehension and speaking. The class, conducted in Chinese, meets four times a week with a focus on reading and writing, including the correct use of grammar. The general program policy at Tulane is to teach simplified characters; yet students with traditional character background may choose to write in traditional characters in their works, but should be able to read simplified characters in which most class materials are written. Only those students who are placed in ASTC 1030 by the language learning center and who have received instructor’s approval are able to take ASTC 1030.
