CHI406&406 Course Highlights: Explore Modern China and Elevate Your Chinese
Looking to sharpen your Chinese and engage with real-world content? This advanced course helps students build a confident and active command of both spoken and written Chinese, while deepening their understanding of modern Chinese society and culture.
Through thought-provoking readings—ranging from scholarly articles to film criticism—and in-class discussions based on popular TV shows and essays, you’ll not only boost your writing and speaking skills, but also gain insight into the issues shaping contemporary China.
The course features a variety of interactive and fun classroom activities, including debates, presentations, creative writing, and group projects. Whether you’re preparing for academic research, professional communication, or cultural immersion, this course offers a dynamic and enriching learning experience.
This is a growing collection of student work from our Chinese classes. We’ve gathered highlights from last year’s projects—and we can’t wait to see what you’ll create this year! Explore what our CHI courses are all about, get inspired by past work, and discover useful learning tools, especially writing resources to support your progress.
HIGHLIGHT:
The project is led by Dak Cheng(’25), with support from Alvin Chan(’28) and Christina Li(’28). This fun and creative project is a parody of the famous song Beijing Welcomes You (北京欢迎你), reimagined as Princeton Welcomes You (普大欢迎你). The lyrics are written by 2024 CHI405 students. The video features PU students and Chinese instructors, coming together to celebrate our shared community and passion for Chinese language and culture.
