Corsi di Studio del Dipartimento di Culture, Politica e Società

Intermediate-level knowledge of spoken and written Mandarin Chinese (putonghua) is essential to fully benefit from this course. Students are expected to be well versed in English too, as lessons will be held in Chinese and English.

Four decades of "reform and opening" have turned China into a key player in global politics, trade, finance, and socio-cultural dynamics.

Acquiring sound knowledge of Chinese language and culture is especially relevant to develop competent and responsibile relations inside China and - increasingly - in the Italian neighbourhood, as China's economic interests project towards these shores.

This course contributes to the overall thrust of the Laurea Magistrale in Scienze Internazionali by training students to work proficiently in the Chinese language (putonghua), with sophisticated cultural awareness and a particular focus on China's role in the ongoing trasformation of the international order. 

四十年的“改革开放”使中国成为全球政治，贸易，金融和社会文化活动的重要参与者。

随着中国的经济利益向海外一些地区的发展，掌握一些中国语言和文化的基本知识对于培养能力，在中国以及日益增长的意大利邻国建立值得信赖的良好关系至关重要。

培养学生精通汉语，具有深厚的文化意识以及特别专注中国在现行国际秩序转变中的作用，有助于国际关系学硕士学位课程的整体发展。

Students will be proficient in Chinese grammar and conversation; they will be comfortable in practically applying Chinese language functions at CEF level C2. Students will be capable of easily understanding a variety of Chinese-language materials about politics, economics and cultural and social dynamics, and of using oral or written Chinese to express their views fluently, with the aim to accurately understand and comment on relevant information and conduct objective analysis.

高级班学生将精通汉语语法及表达方式，具有较强的应用汉语的能力，《欧洲语言共同参考框架（CEF）》C2 级。学生可以轻 松地理解听到或读到的汉语信息，以口头或书面的形式使用汉语流利地表达自己的见解。快速阅读有关中国政治，经济，文化及社会发展的原文资料，准确理解相关信息并进行客观分析。

Due to restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the course will be offered on-line during the regular class hours.

Teaching will include the presentation of dedicated .PPT slides, videos in Chinese to be discussed among students in guided form, and practical excercises. 

Self-evaluation activities will be arranged.

Students will be required to read complex texts (over 2,500 words) on China's culture, economics or politics in a given time and express their own ideas, while answering questions on the texts. Students are also expected to give a short presentation (around 15 minutes) and write an essay (1,000 words) on China's culture, economics or politics within a given time.

 The exam is thus made up of four parts:

   1) a reading test requiring robust knowledge of words, phrases and sentence construction;

   2) reading of 4 texts (approx. 2,500-3,000 words) and a related Q&A session (1 hour);

   3) a 15-20' oral presentation followed by a Q&A session;

   4) a writing session requiring to produce an essay on a topic of personal interest, ideally connected with the development of relations between China and Italy or the EU (minimum 1,000 words). The essay must be handed in before the student takes the reading part of exam (points 1-2).

Students must pass the written part of the examination before being eligible for the oral part of the examination, and they must finish all parts of exam to get the final mark.

During the course, or anyway before taking the exam, students are required to offer three presentations on Chinese culture, economics and politics and produce three essay of narrative, analytical and argumentative nature, as mock tests.

Students who are unable to actively participate to lectures will sit a dedicated exam: they are required to contact the professor at the beginning of the semester to make the necessary arrangements.
