As a follow-on course to Business Chinese I (CHIN 190), this course is primarily intended for students who are interested in pursuing a career that may involve working in China or doing business with Chinese corporate partners. In CHIN 191, all the topics are practical for a "real world" business environment, for instance, making an appointment, visiting a company, introducing production facilities and products, dining etiquette, and socializing with colleagues after work.
Outcomes: Upon completion of Business Chinese II, the student should have 1) an expanded vocabulary frequently encountered in a business environment, 2) deeper knowledge of Chinese syntax (sentence patterns and habitual usages), morphology (character construction and combinations), and other aspects of grammar (eg, verb tense markers, positioning of prepositional phrases and adverbials), and 3) a multifaceted introduction to Chinese business culture.
