Goals & Focuses
This Mandarin intermediate course will still focus on Mandarin Pinyin and the simplified version. Students will work with this version on the base of their knowledge of the traditional characters, if any, or the knowledge gained from beginner’s programs, such as Mandarin 9 and 10. At the end of the year, over 270 characters (or about 300 phrases) will be learned to increase students’ writing efficiency.
The basic four skills of listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing will all be developed with more emphasis on the following items:
-
Basic grammar (including parts of speech, sentence structures, etc.): Students will have some knowledge of grammar and writing to be qualified for an advanced mandarin course, such as Mandarin 12.
On completion of Mandarin 11, students may reach level 3 or level 4 of HSK (a standard Mandarin exam).
Marks will be calculated according to the formulae for all Language 11 courses submitted to the Counseling Department on September 29, 1997, as following:
1st Report (Term 1): 100% of Term 1 Mark
2nd Report (Term 2): 100% of Term 2 Mark
3rd Report (Term 3): 25% of Term 1 Mark
30% of Term 2 Mark
35% of Term 3 Mark
10% Year End Final Examination
