Mandarin
Course summary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLfn46vPM2M&list=PLoj-70oAyNB1ZsGkGiitrC8xXh53QgLvB&index=13 The aim of this course is to develop the ability to understand Mandarin Chinese and enable the candidate to communicate confidently and clearly in Mandarin Chinese. Students will form a sound base of skills, language and attitudes required for further study, work and leisure and develop insights into the culture and civilisation of countries where Chinese is spoken. This course encourages positive attitudes to language learning and a sympathetic approach to other cultures and civilisations whilst further enabling intellectual and personal development by promoting learning and social skills. Students will develop 4 skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. These are supplemented by Chinese-specific skills: accurate identification of roman transliteration, including tones, and the use of a radical-indexed Chinese dictionary. The course fosters awareness of Chinese Culture and History and aims to equip candidates with the skills to survive in a Chinese environment and provide a stepping stone for university courses in Chinese and Chinese Studies.
