This course is a logical progression from intermediate level, but it is not essential to have attended the SOAS Language Centre intermediate course. The course, based on 'Reading Chinese Newspapers' and selected articles, is taught in Chinese. It covers speaking, listening, reading and some writing skills. Class time is divided between reading and listening practice and teacher led discussions. A minimum of 3 - 4 hours homework per week is required.
Class size is limited to twelve to allow close involvement.
Entry Requirement Entry to the course is by assessment only. Applicants must contact the Language Centre to arrange for an assessment at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the term. Knowledge of basic Chinese grammar and approximately 1,200 characters is required. Dates and Times Classes will be held from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on one evening a week or from 10am to 12noon on a Saturday morning at SOAS in central London. See our timetables pages.
