The Beginner-Intermediate Chinese Class serves as a bridge between foundational language skills and more advanced linguistic concepts. Designed for learners with a basic understanding of Mandarin, this course focuses on improving proficiency through structured grammar practice, expanded vocabulary across practical themes, and the development of core skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing—using traditional Chinese characters. 

In addition to language instruction, this class places strong emphasis on cultural learning. Students will engage in interactive activities such as dialogues, role-plays, and guided discussions that integrate cultural topics including traditional festivals, family and social customs, food culture, values, and everyday life in Taiwan and other Mandarin-speaking regions. This cultural immersion not only enhances language fluency but also enriches students’ contextual understanding and communication authenticity. Regular assessments and constructive feedback support students’ progress toward intermediate proficiency, while promoting deeper appreciation for Chinese culture and society. Based on students' knowledge levels, a separate beginner class may be offered to better meet their learning needs.
