This course is designed to improve students' command of speaking and listening, so half of the teaching time will be based on speaking, listening and prepared presentations. Students will also learn to read academic articles at this stage.
What will we cover?
Topics: Chinese culture, poems, history and current affairs. The teaching materials will be adjusted by the teacher to cater for students’ abilities and needs. Grammar: Consolidation of more complicated grammatical points such as advanced usage of complements, sentences with “ba把”, sentences with “bei被”, more accurate usage of “le了“ and “de的”.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
Develop your vocabulary
Enhance your fluency and accuracy in speaking
Improve your listening and reading Chinese characters
Consolidate advanced grammatical structures
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Students should have completed Chinese 4 or 5, or studied Chinese for approximately 6-7 years recently or have developed an equivalent competence in the language. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart at the start of the languages section of our course guide, or at http://www.citylit.ac.uk/self-assess-your-level. You will also need to be able to respond to simple instructions and explanations, as well as read course documents, in English. You will need to be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time, using the 24 hour clock, reading timetables). It would also be helpful if you had some knowledge of basic grammar terminology such as: a verb, a noun and conjugation.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
This course is based on the tutor’s own material. Please check with your tutor, as a book may be recommended to complement the lessons.
I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language in the UK for over a decade. I found myself being attracted to languages and cultures while working as a journalist for the national broadcaster in Beijing China and later for the BBC in the UK. My teaching methodology is significantly influenced by Princeton University Mandarin Teaching Methods which makes classroom teaching a lot of fun whilst applying repetitive exercises. I take advantage of my journalistic background and produce a lot of audio-visual materials to assist my teaching and this has been widely welcomed by my students. As a consequence, my students’ pronunciation and intonation is always exceptionally good. My deep understanding between the languages also drives me to explore not only the subtleties between English and Chinese but also the cultural differences between the East and the West. I naturally impart a lot of Chinese culture into my language teaching and make the language learning process more interesting. Teaching language and culture is my passion and I would love to embark upon this interesting, exciting, and also challenging journey with you, and assist you with my expertise.
