Chinese in Speech and Writing III

On completion of the course, students will be able to:

• communicate comfortably and confidently in different everyday situations
• express their thoughts on everyday subjects and use some simple specialist terminology relating to different subjects
• understand fairly complex Chinese sentences and written excerpts
• write short essays using Chinese characters
• read and study somewhat simplified authentic texts in Chinese.

The course comprises six parts that build on each other. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are greatly integrated with each other. The course includes speaking and listening exercises that enables students to practise communicating about common situations and discuss well-known topics in Chinese. By reading, analysing, and discussing moderately challenging texts and by also completing short writing assignments, students have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Chinese grammar and language structure while expanding their vocabulary.
