Self-assessment exercises for learning Chinese
This semester, students studying Chinese II will have new teaching materials that can help them learn and, above all, practise the language.
Self-assessment exercises for learning Chinese is an interactive web material that includes a series of exercises aimed at improving oral and written comprehension, and Chinese grammar, script and phonetics. An important new development is that, alongside computers, students can also use iPads to carry out the exercises.
The aim of this initiative is to let students make the most of their time when practising their Chinese language skills. Similar materials are to be developed for other languages, such as Japanese, soon.
This new initiative comes alongside other resources that are already available, such as LANGblog – an audioblog created in 2008 by the UOC Arts and Humanities Department’s Languages Programme which lets language course students practise their oral and listening skills.
