11CHI

Level 1 Chinese

Course Description

Language strand: This course encourages effective communication in listening and responding, speaking and presenting, interacting, reading/viewing and writing.  In Year 11 the language, vocabulary, structures and themes studied in Year 9 and Year 10 are revised and extended. Topics of study are based on communication for daily life, such as sport and leisure, eating out, health, holidays and travel. Students will develop communication beyond the immediate context of your life e.g. about past and future events.  You will learn to understand and produce a variety of text types, using a variety of tenses, structures and vocabulary, developing beyond language survival skills towards social competence.


Culture Strand: Cross-curricular links in the area of English and/or Media studies are utilised to examine and respond to Chinese culture through media, music, films and written texts.  

Pathway

Chinese is useful in local business, trade, tourism, the diplomatic service, hospitality, translation, interpretation and international business. In today’s “global village” knowledge of a second language is increasingly important. Basic knowledge of the Chinese common expressions, writing system and pronunciation is a sought after skill in a wide variety of jobs, from school leaver employment to professional careers.
