Elementary Children's Mandarin Autumn Term 2024

Elementary Children's Mandarin Autumn Term 2024

The University of Liverpool Confucius Institute is launching an in-person, 10-week Mandarin Chinese language course for school-age children on Fridays between 4:30 pm and 6 pm.

Course Description

The language class is suitable for primary school students aged 6-10 years old in the Liverpool area. The students should have achieved the upper elementary level; i.e., they can introduce themselves simply with personal details such as name, age, nationality; describe things around them, e.g., colours, furniture, stationary, and how to add/substract numbers within 20 in Mandarin.

 

We will teach the textbook "YCT" STANDARD COURSE 2 Unit 6-11. We hope to give students a good foundation in Chinese Mandarin language, so that they can be able to read 150-160 commonly used Chinese characters, 15 grammar items and 15 function items of YCT level 2 and improve their Chinese expression skills.

 

We also aim to give the students a foundation in Chinese culture by introducing activities such as Chinese calligraphy and handcraft.

 

 We can arrange for the students to take the Youth Chinese Test after they finish the "YCT" STANDARD COURSE 2. The test is an international standardized test of Chinese proficiency by Hanban.

 

Please note that, due to safeguarding policies, parents must remain onsite for the duration of each lesson.
