Intermediate Chinese 10RB is designed for non-heritage graduate students and motivated undergraduate students who have completed 10RA and who wish to continue to develop their technical reading competence but also go on to look for meaning in modern Chinese texts. The course promotes cross-cultural understanding by presenting a series of stories portraying young people from diverse cultural backgrounds in an American academic community, and as students read these stories in Chinese and analyze textual features, they construct meanings from the vocabulary, grammatical patterns, conventions, and culture. Prerequisites: Chinese 10RA.
