Chinese Beginners Level 2

Chinese Beginners Level 2

Your Course
This course is suitable for students who have studied Chinese for about one term. The course concentrates on pronunciation, listening and speaking with limited Chinese character recognition. The course will continue to follow the text book'Chinese in Steps Vol 1'by George X Zhang but will be supplemented by simple authentic written and spoken texts.
The course feeds into Beginners Level 3 (Summer Term 2010).
During this course students will take a short internal assessment in speaking a/or listening. This will help them prepare for the OCR Asset language test that will be taken at the end of the first year of study.

· Talk about yourself and your family, and ask about someone else's family.
· Ask and respond to questions regarding one's occupation.
· Go shopping, including asking prices, explaining what you want to buy and bargaining.
· Order food and drinks.
· Express some emotions.
· Ask for directions.
