The aim of every language course at the University is to enable you to communicate in your target language (TL) at that particular level and in your particular area of interest.
We use the word ‘communicate’ in its widest sense, meaning that you will not only be able to talk to people in the language but also to develop your proficiency in listening, reading, and writing.
This means that the module aims for you to understand all the things which affect communication in that language, including knowledge of how the language is used, how it works and how to analyse it, and the cultural contexts in which it is spoken.
History:
If you have never studied Mandarin before these courses are for you. Whether you're looking for an introduction to the language before a holiday, or want to study intensively, we have a range of classes available.
There is no doubt that written Chinese is difficult to learn – even for the Chinese! But the spoken language is another matter.
China will play a major role in world affairs in the future. Chinese is the language most spoken in the world! One out of five people is Chinese. If you can speak Chinese, you can communicate with more people different from yourself than with any other language.
This course is for people who enjoy learning in a structured manner. A set of textbooks will be utilized to cover the basic vocabulary and grammar. Dialogues and interesting facts about Chinese culture will be found throughout the textbooks.
You must be enthusiastic and love working with children. You must also speak Mandarin Chinese. Confidence is a must as singing in front of large groups of people is essential (don't worry you don't need to be X Factor Final standard, but you should be able to carry a tune).
