Summary

In this course we will explore the ways in which contemporary Chinese culture is expressed in music. Using authentic materials, such as popular songs, music videos and music articles as springboards, students will communicate about current events and culture in China.

Students will be expected to prepare to discuss it in Chinese with the teacher and classmates during the next class meeting. Corequisite: Students are required to attend Language Series.
