Post-Mao Chinese Rock and Roll (CHI4511.01) (cancelled 9/19/2024)

Ginger Lin

In this course we will explore the ways in which modern and contemporary Chinese culture is expressed in music. Using authentic materials, such as popular songs, music videos and music articles as springboards, students will communicate about current events and culture in China. Each class or every other class, students will be given a different song, video or article with a vocabulary list and grammar points for that material. Students will be expected to prepare to discuss it in Chinese with the teacher and classmates during the next class meeting.
