13 Chinese Second Language
13CHN Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms M. Lin
In Year 13 Chinese you learn more abstract and complex language with stronger cultural awareness in order to communicate ideas, justify your opinions and challenge different perspectives. You are going to read some creative writing and a variety of authentic materials and write expressively for a range of purposes.
Topics include:
- Cultural awareness & integration
- Environment & eco-tourism
- Modern technology & cyber world
- Simple literary works
We approach these topics through a blended text- and online-course and add to it Chinese history, myths, film, and other authentic resources. We continue to use computer programmes such as online interactive exercises and Education Perfect.
