Intermediate level grammar, vocabulary, writing and colloquial conversation are covered, with the accent on communication within non-specialist current topics. The Intermediate course provides a logical progression from beginners level but it is not essential to have attended the SOAS Language Centre beginners course . It covers speaking, listening, reading and some writing skills. A minimum of 3 - 4 hours homework per week is required.
Class size is limited to twelve to allow close involvement.
Entry Requirements Entry to the course is by assessment only. Applicants must contact the Language Centre to arrange for an assessment at least 3 weeks before the beginning of the term. Knowledge of basic Chinese grammar and approximately 600 characters is required. Dates and Times Classes will be held at SOAS in central London on one evening per week. See our timetables pages.
