ANU Extension Continuing Chinese A

Please direct course enquiries to Lihong Rambeau at lihong.rambeau@anu.edu.au This tertiary level Continuing Chinese H Course provide a pathway from secondary to tertiary studies in Chinese language by enhancing and complementing the existing ACT Chinese Continuing language course for Year 11 and 12 secondary students. International students are not able to enrol in this course. This course will be delivered at first-year university level with a strong though not exclusive emphasis on reading and writing, which secondary college teachers of Chinese have identified as a need. Given the distinctiveness of the Chinese language and its distance from English, learning Chinese, in particular learning to read and write characters, needs new literacy skills to be developed. The course will emphasize both essential literacy skills and a broader understanding of the role of written language in a contemporary context. This is Part A of a 2 part course.
