Abstract

“Beginner Chinese Course I” is a two year course delivered in English for the first-year and second-year master students. The material is given sequentially according to the degree of increasing complexity. Depending on the performance of the group, the rate at which students master the material may vary. If the group learns the material faster, the teacher can give additional materials for mastering at home and in the classroom (materials from other teaching and reference books, adapted texts for home reading or texts from the Internet). If the group masters the material more slowly than envisaged in the programme, a delay in the presentation of the material is allowed in order to better study aspects that cause difficulties for students.
