Title: New Chinese Resource: Speech Acts in Films
Body:
Speech Acts in Films is a new site from our sister Language Resource Center, the Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research, where students of Mandarin Chinese learn to examine, understand, and practice social language through the medium of film. The primary audience for the materials are learners at the high-intermediate, low-advanced and advanced levels. The site has been developed to address the raising need for quality materials in blended-learning environments, but it can also be used for self-study, or as supplemental materials in more traditional instructional settings.
