This module runs in semester one. It is designed for students who have successfully completed Chinese 3B or equivalent . It aims to introduce more complicated grammar points, further expend vocabulary, set expressions and linking words enabling students to progress in reading, writing and speaking from lower intermediate level to intermediate level. Upon successful completion of this module, students are expected to be able to read and write simple texts and communicate on familiar topics and function at Lower B2 of CEFR or Lower Band 6 of HSK .
Textbook: New Practical Chinese Reader book 4. At the end of Semester 1, L39 to L43 will be covered. If you successfully pass CH4A, you may continue for CH4B (book 4 L44-L48) in Semester 2. There are different versions of New Practical Chinese Readers in the market and stock could be limited for a particular version, we, therefore, ask students to buy the version from Hanban UK, which is about 15-minute walk from SOAS at 124 Euston Road, London, NW1 2AL. In the first lesson, they may bring textbooks to our classroom (£15?). If you miss the first class, please go to the above address in person and buy the book, please.
