| Course Description | This course is designed for students to build on the understandings learnt in ‘Issues in Chinese Culture’ (co-requisite) where appropriate, in order to gain a deeper insight into the complexity of issues covered. It caters for the special needs of international students with native or near native Chinese language proficiency who are studying in an English language environment. The course aims to bridge the gaps between Chinese and Australian education systems by capitalising on students’ previous learning and enhancing their academic experiences in Australia; and to provide Chinese-speaking international students with a language rich and research rigorous alternative directly relevant to their transcultural experience and futures. They will learn how to frame a research problem and devise appropriate and effective ways of investigating it. Students will further develop their research writing, as well as critical and analytical skills which will prepare them for Honours studies. In the workshops the instructing and learning languages will be both Chinese and English. By the end of the semester students will be familiar with some of the central concerns of Chinese culture and with a different cultural perspective from which to view oneself, one’s culture and society; and each student will complete a research project (about 5000 Chinese characters or equivalent) on a topic agreed by the lecturer. |
