The
WUSTL-ALLEX Intensive Chinese and Japanese Institute will offer
intensive beginning level classes in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese at
Washington University in St. Louis for seven weeks this summer. Each
class meets for 2 hours per day, 5 days a week for 7 weeks. The course
is intensive and requires 3-5 hours of mandatory self-managed study per
day.
This program is designed to train students
to speak and listen to Chinese or Japanese, and to introduce students
to reading and writing the language. At the end of the course students
will be expected to perform in all four skills—speaking, listening,
reading and writing—at a basic level of proficiency.
Students
will not only learn to speak the language; they will also develop an
understanding of Chinese or Japanese interpersonal behavior. The
ultimate goal is to teach students not just to speak Chinese or
Japanese, but to function successfully in Chinese or Japanese culture—to
present yourself as an intelligent person in the culture using the
language.
Students will learn to speak and perform correctly in a variety of social situations.
