Language practice : The course is designed to enable students to deepen their knowledge of the Chinese language in both oral and written form. The aim is also to broaden the knowledge of Chinese culture. Culture: The course is designed to enable students to follow existing interests or develop new ones, both in terms of topics and approaches. We therefore aim to develop an awareness of plurality rather than provide a body of knowledge that is too theoretical and therefore poorly integrated. The focus is on : Developing issues that are more productively addressed in a comparative framework than through isolated studies at the regional level.
