First Day at School
waynechang | 11 九月, 2009 09:23Dear Student,
This is Chang Laoshi. I will be teaching your HS4 course for next year. Your principal and I have put a lot of thought into selecting the best teaching materials and arranging the curriculum, and would like to inform you so you can be prepared.
The required textbook for this course is Chinese Link: Zhongwen Tiandi, Intermediate Chinese, Level 2 Part 1, 1/E, by Wu, Yu / Zhang. This book is edited by a group of Carnegie Mellon University professors. It has a companion website that contains many online resources and practices. The URL for this companion web site is - http://wps.prenhall.com/wl_wu_chineselink_2/
It is important you purchase the book and access the companion website without any difficulty because:
- There will be required reading assigned from the book.
- Homework assignments will come from the book.
- Homework assignments will be delivered to me from the companion website.
- I will test on material from the book.
- It will help you gain the skills you need for college.
The required computer software for this course are - Printing Fonts Pack by DynaFonts, IQ Chinese Reader, RealPlayer, Windows Sound Recorder, and a popular web-based social website called Twitter. It is important you install and use the above listed software without any difficulty because:
- Zhuyin and Pinyin Fonts will help you to read.
- IQ Chinese will help you in speaking.
- Homework and practices will require you to use RealPlayer to hear the audio files.
- Homework speaking assignments will require you to record your assignments into sound files.
- Homework writing assignments will require you to enter your sentences into Twitter.
- Again, it will help you gain skills you will need for college.
I will also use other books as supplemental material, such as a textbook named Speak Decent and Barron's AP Chinese Language and Culture. This course is not an AP Chinese test preparation course, but to know what the AP test covers and what the required skills for Chinese reading, listening, writing, and speaking that are required for college is important for this course.
Last but not least, look forward to having you in class!
Chang Laoshi
