As a public compulsory basic course open to students of all majors at Macau University of Science and Technology, University Chinese aims to guide students to appreciate the classics and essences of the Chinese literature works, enrich students’ knowledge in language and culture, and improve students’ abilities in reading comprehension, appreciation and analysis and expression of ideas and thoughts using the Chinese language. The course places great emphasis in helping students to grasp basic knowledge, improve writing standards, and train language skills, especially skills and abilities to use language in their social life. By combining in-class lectures with colorful extracurricular activities such as recital contest, speech contest and composition contest, the course aims to elevate students’ overall abilities in using their mother tongue, in the hope of preparing students in terms of the desired language qualities to adapt to the needs of modern societies and their own professional development.
