What is the course about?

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.
The teacher will use Discover China Book 3 for teaching but will add some supplementary materials on Chinese grammar, Chinese culture, poems, history and current affairs. The teaching materials will be adjusted by the teacher to cater for students’ abilities and needs.

What will we cover?

Topics: You will cover a  variety of topics which reflect the interests of the group (this will be discussed and negotiated in the first session).
Grammar:  Consolidation of more complicated grammatical points

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.

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, student presentations and listening activities. All the activities will be guided by the teacher and students will be corrected by the teacher during these activities.
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. Your tutor might recommend a reference book for your own self-study.
