Results/Contributions

Since Academic Year 2025, the Master’s Program in Chinese Language and Culture at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences has offered “Interactive Discussion on Selected Classical Texts.”


Through weekly textual analysis and vocabulary exercises, students gradually develop their ability to understand and interpret Classical Chinese texts, mastering common vocabulary, syntactic structures, and key ideas. Student-centered discussions, guided by instructor prompts, allow them to assess their understanding and clarify difficulties in real time.

 

Classroom exchanges incorporate diverse cultural perspectives, deepening students’ understanding of ancient Chinese culture. By engaging with supplementary materials such as oracle bone inscriptions and historical context, students gain insight into Chinese philosophical thought, the formation of classical texts, and cultural development, demonstrating enhanced textual analysis and cross-cultural critical thinking skills.
