Module Catalogues, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University      Module Code: CLT002 Module Title: Chinese Language Stage 2 Module Level: Level 0 Module Credits: 5.00 Academic Year: 2020/21 Semester: SEM1/SEM2 Originating Department: Modern Languages Pre-requisites: CLT001     Aims This module aims to help students with a basic Chinese knowledge to continually improve their Chinese study, bringing their Chinese language proficiency to a level equivalent to CEFR A1+. All the Chinese modules have been developed taking into account the QAA benchmark statements for a full or minor component in a language. QAA benchmark statements relate to the language component comprising at least one-third of the study total, resulting in students at the end of the relevant degree programme being at level C1. These Chinese modules make up less than one third of study and so the realistic minimum that would be achieved for a student starting at a beginner level in year 1 is CEFR B2, though students with some initial knowledge would be at C1. Learning outcomes  A. Be able to demonstrate understanding of a speaker of the target language if they speak very slowly and clearly about simple everyday topics B. Be able to demonstrate understanding of very short, simple texts in the target language, when allowed to read very slowly C. Be able to use the target language to provide simple information orally, ask and answer simple questions, and respond to simple statements on very familiar topics D. Be able to use the target language to write simple sentences about themselves, including where they live and what they do Method of teaching and learning  Communicative language teaching involves a high level of interaction between teacher and students. Teaching and assessment will revolve around the setting and completion of specified language tasks. This module includes 2*2 hours seminars plus 1 hour lecture per week. Students will have 4 hours per week of integrated skills class, covering reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The lecture, which is a large group practice and review session, will be designed to support student learning in and after class. Syllabus  You will learn elementary Chinese language and culture and become fluent in daily communication through a series of structured lessons. Understand stroke order in writing characters; learn the basic radicals in characters. You could use basic Chinese words and expressions to seek for help, to illustrate and descript and to compare things in your daily life. Communicate basic needs in a Mandarin Chinese-speaking environment.
