Description

The module aims to help students to achieve high competences in listening, speaking, reading and writing. In addition to the subject knowledge, the students’ learning skills and analytical skills are further developed through different learning tasks and assignments. The module is conducted through the target language.

Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate an understanding of standard spoken language, live or broadcast, on familiar topics normally encountered in personal, social, academic or vocational life.
2. Keep up with conversation with native speakers clearly and politely in a formal or informal register, appropriate to the situation and person(s) concerned.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of specialised articles outside his/her field, provided he/she can use a dictionary occasionally to confirm his/her interpretation of terminology.
4. Demonstrate good grammatical control. Occasional ‘slips’ or non-systematic errors and minor flaws in sentence structure may still occur, but they are rare and can often be corrected in retrospect.
5. Produce clear, detailed descriptions of real or imaginary events and experiences, marking the relationship between ideas in clearly connected text and developing an argument systematically with appropriate highlighting of significant points and relevant supporting detail.
6. Summarise a wide range of factual and imaginative texts, movies and news on a familiar or less familiar subject.
7. Comprehend certain commonly used expressions and phrases in classical Chinese language.
