This course is the continuation of Intermediate 4. Students continue to develop all four skills starting to slowly close the gap between their receptive (listening and reading) and productive (speaking and writing) skills. The development of listening and speaking skills will remain a focus of the course, and teachers will, at the same time encourage students to rely less on pinyin. Compared to lower levels of courses, slightly more emphasis will be attached to the recognition and writing of characters. Students are encouraged to reflect and internalise grammatical devices and structures that they have studied and actively use them in conversations and written exercises. Topics covered in the textbook will also help students know more about Chinese family relations, Confucius and Confucian culture
The course is tutorial based with a combination of joint class activities and group work. Supplementary material is prepared by the teacher. To benefit fully from the course and to achieve the learning outcomes, students are strongly encouraged to spend at least 1-2 hours to revise each class.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Textbook: Contemporary Chinese (Book 3, Units 10-12)
