Courses and Teaching materials

Teaching materials include Practical Audio-Visual Chinese, Far East Everyday Chinese, Taiwan Today, Practical Business Conversation, etc. Different from other language centers, the CLC compiled its own teaching materials. By using Kaohsiung and NSYSU as the background, the materials are focused on daily conversation as well as the local culture. “Stories of Mrs. Ding’s Family,” “An Introduction to Mandarin Pronunciation” and “Practical Chinese Conversation” are the main materials used now in the CLC , which we believe these materials will not only provide interesting learning varieties to the students, but also to help them easily communicate and understand the people and the life in Kaohsiung.

Courses focusing on Chinese typically used in newspapers, radio and television programs are also available. Many classes use audio or video cassettes and other non-textbook materials in order to make studying at the CLC as interesting and varied as possible. The center also offers courses with literary, historical and philosophical texts.
