This project aims to develop 20 sets of form-focused exercises in the format of the Jeopardy Games using Microsoft word and PowerPoint for the in-class use of Business Chinese (CHIN 382) in the spring semester. There entail two goals for this project: 1) to provide the opportunities for students to focus on linguistic forms in an engaging manner; 2) to prepare students linguistically so that they can perform the uncoming meaning-focused tasks more accurately, fluently and appropriately.
