  • 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 4/5 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?
