Certificate Requirements 

At a meeting on September 28, 1988, the Chinese Studies 

Certificate Program Steering Committee approved the following 

revisions to the requirements for the Certificate. These revisions 

result from the changes inChinese language courses presently-being 

considered by the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee. 

1. Increase the core of the Certificate from 15 to 17 hours and the 

total semester-hours required for the Certificate from 21 to 23 hours. 

(This results from CHIN 100 and CHIN 102 being increased from 3 to 4 

hours.) 

.

2. Delete CHIN 250-3 from the elective courses and add CHIN 201-3 and 

CHIN 202-3. (CHIN 250 is being deleted and replaced by CHIN 201 and 

CHIN 202.) 

No other changes in the Certificate requirements are needed. 

Please let me know if any additional information would be helpful.

Prerequisite: ? 

none 

Course Description: 

This.course is specially designed for native speakers of other Chinese 

dialects who, though able to read and write Chinese fluently, have no 

knowledge of Mandarin. The philosophy underlying such a course is that 

learning to speak Mandarin is almost the same as learning a new language. 

Contrasts between Mandarin and other dialects, especially Cantonese, will 

be made: pronunciation, diction, idiomatic expressions and subtle differences 

in grammar -- aspects that native speakers of other dialects are likely to 

have the most difficulty with. Instruction will stress pronunciation through 

the medium of Hanyu Pinyin rather than Chinese characters. All classroom 

activities will be conducted in Mandarin, with active participation expected 

of the students.
