Our tutors will teach Year 9 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they achieve key outcomes in communication, understanding language systems, and cultural awareness. By the end of Year 9, students use Chinese to participate in discussions, share their perspectives on various topics, and express their opinions on familiar and some unfamiliar issues. They read, write, and interpret increasingly complex texts, using both characters and Pinyin to convey meaning. Students develop a deeper understanding of Chinese grammar and sentence structures, and they explore how cultural practices shape communication in Chinese-speaking communities.
Our tutors will ensure to cover all topics from the Year 9 Chinese curriculum:
Interacting in Chinese:
Students engage in conversations about their interests, school life, and global topics, using appropriate expressions and adjusting their language to suit different contexts. They practise sustaining discussions and responding to others through role-plays and digital exchanges.
Mediating meaning in and between languages:
Students interpret information from diverse sources, including articles, songs, and conversations, summarising key ideas and comparing different perspectives. They translate familiar phrases and cultural concepts, exploring how meaning changes between Chinese and English.
Creating text in Chinese:
Students produce spoken and written texts, such as narratives and descriptions, using a wider range of vocabulary and structures. They practise using complex sentences and applying grammar rules to express their thoughts clearly.
Understanding language and culture:
Students explore pronunciation and tone variations, focusing on improving fluency. They examine cultural traditions, festivals, and social norms, discussing how these influence communication styles and comparing them to their own cultural experiences.
