 Hello this is Dr Tuyen. I'm a senior lecturer in the Eastern Asian Department of Languages and Cultures. I teach Chinese 404, the Modern Chinese Literary Language. When learners reach a high level in Chinese in high education outside the language countries, they are eager to study on the course which provides them with the opportunities to develop their specific knowledge and to use the targeted language to comprehend authentic materials which are produced for native speakers in addition to continue to improve their language skills. Do we have such a course? Yes we do. The module called Chinese 405 and now it is called Chinese 404, Style of Modern Chinese Literary Language, is the course that has been created to meet the needs of such learners. This course is available for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The main characteristics of this course are as follows. To use the targeted language to study in class, that's number one. And then number two, to develop a knowledge of the style of modern Chinese literary language. Number three, to develop a knowledge of different types of writings by well-known Chinese writers.
