18th June, 1975
Date ?
:
At its meeting of 20th May, the Senate Committee on
Undergraduate Studies discussed the attached proposals for -
CHIN 100-3: Mandarin Chinese I
CHIN 101-3: Mandarin Chinese II
CHIN 250-3: Reading and Writing Chinese
These courses had initially been approved by the
Committee and by Senate for offering once only. They are now
being brought before Senate with the recommendation that they
be included on an on-going basis as part of the Department
of Modern Languages' Program. During discussion of this
proposal, the representative of the Department of Modern
Languages and the Dean of Arts indicated that the Department
.
?
and the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee felt that the
initial offering of these courses
?
had been successful,
that enrollments had been high and that the courses would make
a useful permanent addition to the Department's offerings. It
was confirmed, however, that these courses were not to be seen
as a prelude to the adoption of a program in the Chinese
Language but that the Department regarded-them as a useful
service to Simon Fraser Students in general and to Chinese
Students who spoke only Cantonese in particular.
These proposals are now forwarded to Senate, with
the Committee's recommendation that they be approved.

COURSE SYLLABUS
Chinese 100-3
Introduction
This is an introductory Tandarin Chinese course intended for students
who wish to acquire fluency in spoken and written Chinese. The course
begins with the basic phonetics and intonation.
To Westerners and local-born Chinese who do not have any Chinese
background, the study program for each lesson will start with a brief
classroom discussion of the composition, pronunciation, meanings, and
use of each new character. The emphasis is on pronunciation, intonation,
and structural patterns of sentences and a basic vocabulary for general
conversation on everyday topics.
For students who can read,write and speak a Chinese dialect usually
?
Cantonese, the study program emphasizes the correct pronunciation, intonation
and spoken fluency of Mandarin.
