This module is aimed at students who are interested in continuing their study of Chinese alongside the core subjects of their degree programmes. It will appeal to students who have a genuine interest in deepening their understanding of Chinese language and culture as well as those who are motivated to further develop their Chinese language skills and (inter)cultural competence to enhance their employment prospects in Ireland and further afield. Practical reading, writing, speaking and listening skills will be taught through in-person classes with experienced tutors who are native speakers. Classroom-based learning will be complemented by asynchronous online material and exercises to be completed weekly.
Please note: Prospective students should note that this language elective is intended for beginners. Students who took Mandarin Chinese for the Leaving Certificate examination (or equivalent) cannot be accommodated in this class but should consider signing up for a Beginners’ language elective in French, German, or Spanish instead.
