The goal of the course is for participants to communicate in and deal with simple everyday situations. Special importance is attached to an academic environment and student life.

Objective

Participants are able to use the Chinese language adequately in selected areas and can conduct themselves in a culturally appropriate manner. The focus is on oral language skills at A1.2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages; reading and writing skills are fostered simultaneously.

Content areas that are embedded in various communicative tasks include: - Describing a day in your life - Discussing your current studies - Hobbies - Making appointments - Going to a restaurant
