Chinese Level 2 aims to reinforce and expand upon these foundations, providing students with the necessary tools to succeed in higher-level Chinese studies. By revisiting and strengthening their grasp of essential language skills, students solidify their understanding and are better prepared to tackle the more challenging aspects of Chinese language and culture.
1. Advanced Communication Skills – Students will improve their ability to engage in more complex conversations, express opinions, and discuss various topics in Chinese.
2. Enhanced Reading and Writing Proficiency – Through exposure to longer texts and structured writing tasks, students will refine their ability to comprehend and produce written Chinese with greater accuracy.
3. Listening and Comprehension Skills – Students will practice understanding spoken Chinese in different contexts, improving their ability to follow conversations, media, and instructions.
4. Grammar and Sentence Structure Mastery – A deeper understanding of grammar rules and sentence patterns will enable students to construct more sophisticated and coherent sentences.
5. Cultural and Contextual Awareness – By exploring Chinese customs, traditions, and societal norms, students will develop a richer understanding of the cultural aspects that shape language use.
Throughout the Year 10 Chinese Level 2 course, students develop reading and writing skills by exploring personal identity and hobbies in Term 1, enhance speaking and writing through discussions on nutrition and health in Term 2, strengthen listening skills by learning different ways to form questions in Term 3, and refine speaking skills by discussing future plans and aspirations in Term 4.
One of the primary objectives of Chinese Level 2 is to create a clear pathway for students to enter into the VCE or IB Chinese programs. By offering a level specifically tailored to high-ability students with previous Chinese learning experience, Suzanne Cory High School aims to facilitate a smooth transition for students from secondary to tertiary Chinese studies. Chinese Level 2 equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in VCE or IB Chinese.
