Year 8
|
Y8 Mandarin Chinese course is designed to help pupils to understand more about the Chinese language and culture. Pupils will not only develop their linguistic competence in writing, reading, speaking, listening and translation, but also develop their independent learning skills. Through study, pupils will be able to demonstrate their ambitions and ability to communicate with native Chinese speakers. They are working towards GCSE Chinese Foundation level. At the end of Year 8, pupils will obtain GCSE Chinese Grades 3.
Y8 Chinese class pupils will have five lessons every two weeks on their curriculum timetable, including cultural activities. They can continue to develop their Chinese language skills in Year 9 and further up to GCSE and A level. We believe Chinese language skills will make our pupils more attractive to their future employers.
