Summary
This module will develop both your knowledge of Mandarin and your ability to understand and communicate information in Mandarin to a level equivalent to 5. To ensure progress towards this goal, you will enjoy exposure to authentic written, audio and audio-visual documents appropriate to this level of study. Such exposure will be supplemented by learning activities that will develop your explicit knowledge of Mandarin; comprehension (reading/listening) of texts; your proficiency in spoken and written Mandarin; your knowledge and understanding of contemporary Chinese issues and themes such as the Chinese Diaspora. A single written assessment will replace all failed assessment components at the reassessment stage.
