Description	This module aims at near-beginner, and builds upon the knowledge acquired at Level 1 or equivalent by further developing and consolidating the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. As grammar rules become more complex, every new structure will be dealt with in depth while some time spent revising and consolidating past knowledge. Structured language will be taught in the context of situations and personalised topics. Simulation materials will be drawn from authentic sources and will be used to improve and to provide stimulus for the development of both productive skills (speaking and writing) and receptive skills (reading and listening). Teaching is through practical language classes involving both whole group and small-group/pair-work activities, aiming at developing all language skills, with emphasis on oral communication. Visual aids, audio/video recordings and the Internet are used routinely
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module you should be able to: Speak with a degree of fluency about him/herself, his/her life, interests and course of study. Listen and understand in detail selected short examples of the target language spoken at a natural speed and understand the gist of more extended speech. Read short semi-authentic texts in the target language. Write short pieces of writing in the target language. Demonstrate knowledge of and the ability to apply in context the main aspects of basic grammar from the target language. Show a firm understanding of the principles of Chinese script / characters.
