MANDARIN

National 5

For the past 3 years we have taken part  in ‘Discovering China’, an innovative project run by The Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools in partnership with SCILT (Scotland's National Centre for Languages).
We have had a great deal of success with S5 & S6 pupils who have taken part, largely at National 4 level, and are now pleased to be able to offer a National 5 course for S5 & S6 pupils.
This project will give learners the chance to be accredited by SQA for National 5 Mandarin (simplified). The courses will also encourage candidates to explore aspects of Chinese culture as well as providing a solid linguistic foundation for learning the world’s most spoken language.

WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?

​

The lessons will be delivered by a GTCS teacher of Mandarin and live streamed into your classroom. You will therefore need your Glow password, access to the internet, a screen, audio and a projector.

You will be taught language so that you can get by in a simple Mandarin conversation and be able to read and listen to some basic information. In addition you will learn about various aspects of Chinese culture.

You will sit an exam in the main exam diet in the skills of Reading, Listening & Writing, as well as a Talking Exam with your teacher at a specified point in the year.
