CHIN310/510 “Business Chinese in a Cultural Context” is a new course which aims to meet the needs and increasing interests of undergraduate and graduate students for learning Business Chinese in both the Chinese language program and the professional schools at Cornell. I would like to make good use of the on-line Chinese Business news reports that the existing SCOLA channels and some other Chinese television channels provide to create companion listening exercises complementary to the textbook for the Business Chinese course. In addition, I also would like to make use of the functions of “media workbooks,” which is a template of an on-line worksheet developed by the Language Resource Center of Cornell University, to implement the project for the course.
