About the Book
Crossing Cultural Boundaries is an advanced level multimedia course in Chinese language, aimed at students who have completed two years of Chinese language study, or an Intermediate course.
This innovative, communicative course offers content-based written texts, task-based review exercises, and online multimedia learning materials for listening comprehension and greater exposure to Chinese culture. The topics presented within the 6 units of the course are chosen from the broad themes of social change, social inequality and mobility, popular culture, Chinese medicine, philosophy and economics. A series of audio/visual modules (presented as audio on CD, as video online) contain interviews with native speakers conducted in settings in China.
Through an exploration of contemporary Chinese cultural, social and political issues, the course will develop the skills and knowledge for descriptive and argumentative writing, advanced listening and speaking (including public discourse) and the ability to read and respond to authentic texts.
