Clayton First semester 2007 (Day)
Chinese 3 continues the overview of the important sentence structures of modern standard Chinese begun in Chinese 1 and 2. Equal emphasis is placed on the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Speaking classes cover practical, everyday situations, to develop interactive competence at a basic level in a range of situations likely to be encountered in daily life in contemporary China. In addition to regular classroom activities, listening and reading skills will be further developed through the use of audio/visual, Web-based and computer-assisted language learning materials.
Building on the skills acquired in Beginning Chinese, upon successful completion of this unit students will have acquired:
Weekly homework exercises: 20%
Written examination (2.5 hours) and written tests: 50%
Oral/aural test and class performance: 30%
4 hours (2 x 1 hour lectures and 2 x 1 hour tutorials) per week
A pass in CHI1020 or equivalent; recognition of characters in Chapters 1-17 of "A new perspective: Context function and structure in teaching Chinese" assumed.
