Course objectives (in Czech)
At the end of the course students should be able to apply knowledge acquired during previous language courses on unknown text in Chinese; the emphasis will be put on understanding of sentence structure and gradual building of students' vocabulary.
Learning outcomes (in Czech)
●Teaching All Things Considered CH 21-32.
●The new feature in All Things Considered is that several topics appear in both dialogue and essay forms. By covering the same topic twice, students will be able to not only learn the vocabulary and grammatical structures better, but also to see clearly the difference between speaking and writing in Chinese.
●The articles in this book are all related to contemporary issues in China, and their focus is on everyday life rather than the weighty political and social essays. Some of the topics are controversial; we believe this will evoke students' interest and increase their participation in class duscussions.
