Level 3 Chinese

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Fang.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES: The course covers the national curriculum at Level 8. A communicative approach is adopted which is activity based, interactive and learner-centered. Learners are encouraged to use the language for real, purposeful communication in a range of contexts. The development of the four language skills and Chinese-English translation skills is the key component of this course.

Chinese is a significant language for NZ because of the strong ties being developed with Chinese speaking countries. Career opportunities exist in trade, tourism, education (teaching), diplomacy and technology amongst many others.

There are various fun activities. Learning traditional Chinese painting, participating in Cultural Day, learning more of Chinese eating etiquettes and customs. We also have lunch party held by International Languages Department for the Gold winners of Education Perfect World Championships.

Upcoming China trip is in 2025. We look forward to seeing you in year 13 Chinese class!
