This course is designed for students who have career plans of doing business in China, Hong Kong or Taiwan. No previous Chinese background is required. The course will give students a foundation of basic Chinese language in a business context. While all four skills (speaking, reading, listening and writing) will be covered, more emphasis will be placed on speaking and listening. Topics include introducing oneself and family, meeting the company manager, inquiring about someone's profession, making appointments, and visiting a company. At the end of the course students will be able to engage in simple conversations with their co-workers in a company, their business partners, and their clients.

This course does not satisfy the foreign language requirement. It also does not count towards required language units for EAS major or minor.
