8cp; 4hpw

Requisite(s): 97102 Chinese Language and Culture 2

This subject is designed for students who have successfully completed Chinese 2 or its equivalent. It develops students' oral communicative proficiency to satisfy their basic survival needs and to enhance their ability to use Chinese characters by gradually introducing more written texts. Students learn to deal with most situations in areas where the language is spoken and to understand the main points of clear standard speech when the delivery is relatively slow and clear. They also learn to enter unprepared into conversation on topics that are of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life. They acquire approximately 1,200 characters and understand texts that consist of everyday language. Students are also taught to write simple connected texts and to describe personal experiences and impressions, and acquire a knowledge and appreciation of Chinese culture and society.

Assessment: This subject has a combination of continuous assessment and final examinations for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Further details are available in the subject outline distributed in class during the first week of teaching
