What is this subject about? 

It allows students to

  •  expand vocabulary and grammatical knowledge to increase complexity of expression;
  •  interact to exchange information and opinions about their school life and school holidays, customs in different parts of the world and youth issues;
  • read fluently texts with Pinyin (Romanised form) as well as in characters;
  • be introduced to some common text types, such as diary entries and personal letters;
  •  prepare for VCE by concentrating on oral and performance work with more attention to the 4 tones and tempo in the target language.
