Intensive Chinese4 is designed for the students who have either passed Intensive 3 in the previous semester or those who passed the qualification exam called “Kakyo”.
The course is taught by both native and Japanese teachers. Chinese is the only language allowed in the class.
The textbook, edited by the SFC Chinese Laboratory, is different from the one used in intensive Chinese 1-3. The contents of the textbook are divided into 4 topics: Chinese society, Chinese economy, Chinese politics and diplomacy, and Taiwan issues. Each topic, consisting of 4 classes, is taught on different weekdays. Students are required to preview the textbook, participate in discussions, and make presentations in Chinese.
