Course content

This course focuses on communicative speaking practice in everyday and social situations. Students develop confidence in spoken Chinese by engaging in practical communication through realistic and interactive activities.

Examples of communicative scenarios that may be covered in class include: - discussing daily life and personal needs, such as weather, daily routines, health-related situations, exercise habits, or personal experiences - engaging in social interaction with friends or others, including dating, making invitations, arranging gatherings, or responding to invitations in different contexts - handling everyday matters, such as communicating about housing, asking for information, or expressing needs - ordering food and drinks in restaurants
