Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Ting.

Recommended Prior Learning

Year 11 Chinese or native / heritage speaker advantage


Year 12 Chinese allows students to become secure in their Year 11 learning and build on this with more sophisticated language features. In Year 12, students focus on expressing and justifying their opinions on a variety of topics and issues facing teenagers such as healthy living for physical and mental wellbeing, friendship and family relationships, future plans, work experience, and travelling. Students also have the chance to complete a film study towards the end of the year. 


At this level of Chinese, we give students more ownership in programme planning. If there is a particular interest or passion within the class, we endeavour to focus on this as a learning possibility in addition to proposed topics. 


The skills of reading, speaking (both prepared and conversational), listening and writing are all covered and assessed throughout the year so that students are able to both understand and produce Chinese language. 


Year 12 Chinese is a year long course, 7 periods per cycle.
