Level 3 Chinese
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Hamling.
This course is through Te Kura and is correspondence ONLY and the requirement is that students are native speakers of Chinese.
This course develops ākonga’s ability to communicate in Chinese in a variety of situations. Throughout the course, opportunities are provided to listen to and speak Chinese, as well as to read and write using simplified characters to an advanced level. Ākonga learn not only how to express a point of view, but also how to support an argument or provide suggestions. Chinese culture is also considered, in particular the matter of cultural differences, and the skills and advice required to plan a trip to China are covered.
New Zealand Scholarship exams are designed to extend very high-achieving Level 3 ākonga. Those who wish to enter the New Zealand Scholarship exam in this subject must discuss this option with their Te Kura subject kaiako.
Delivery Modes: This course is accessed through the online learning environment, My Te Kura. Ākonga will be required to make and submit audio and/or video recordings, so a microphone and camera or mobile device are essential.
You will need to have a conversation with Mrs Hamling before you are approved to do this course.
What should I have already done?
NCEA Level 2 Chinese or equivalent, and have a Chinese language background.
Course Contribution
