Chinese language courses

In order to enable students beginning Chinese to make a flying start in the language, the basic major in Modern Chinese consists of double-value one-semester units in the first year, Modern Chinese 1 and 2, followed by four semester units in later years, Modern Chinese 3-6. The major in Modern Chinese is designed to allow students to give first-year Chinese twice as much time as they normally can to first-year units. The advantage of the high-intensity double-weighted first-year Modern Chinese course is the students can afford to give it one-half their study time instead of only one-quarter, as would be the case with a standard weighting.

In Modern Chinese 1 and 2 a solid foundation in the spoken and the written language is laid, so that by the end of the first year of study students starting from scratch will reach basic all-round proficiency. (First-year Chinese is taught on the assumption that students are starting from scratch. Those who have studied enough of the language before may be allowed to begin at a higher level). The second-year Modern Chinese 3-6 build on this to reach more fluency in reading, speech and writing. The emphasis is on introducing varieties of living Chinese and developing the ability to function independently in Chinese. . Introductory courses in Cantonese are available to later-year students.

Students wishing to bring their language skills up to an even higher standard may continue with more advanced courses in Modern Chinese, including interpreting and translation.

Students who have passed the first-year program in Chinese at the University of Canberra may be admitted to Modern Chinese 2 in second semester, and may be granted credit for Modern Chinese 1.

Classical Chinese is taught in a four-semester sequence. Some Classical Chinese is essential for students wishing to pursue serious studies in Chinese culture or in any aspect of China before the early 20th century.
