 La Trobe University - Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences ChineseProgram Coordinator: Dr Huiling Xu The Chinese language program offers an extensive range of units from beginners to honours level and postgraduate study. Three entry-level units are available to cater to students with differing standards in the Chinese language. At second and third year level, specialist units are available in Chinese for professional purposes, Chinese culture studies, and translation training. At all levels, the emphasis is on the development of communicative skills in oral Mandarin and written Chinese, as well as the development of general intellectual skills through the study of Chinese civilisation using Chinese language sources. At senior levels, there is a focus on more specialised Chinese language use for academic or professional purposes. Students are strongly encouraged to complete studies in another discipline with a China–Asia focus such as history, politics, linguistics, cinema, or economics to complement their language study. Students are encouraged to undertake further language study in China. If a student is in receipt of a university scholarship or award that covers tuition fees at the institution in China, they are eligible to enrol in China in-country studies. Self-funded students who pay tuition fees in China are not eligible to enrol in the in-country studies Program. However, they may be able to claim credit points for successful completion of language studies at an authorised institution in China. Students must seek permission from the Asian Studies Program Coordinator in advance if they wish to take up this option. Self-funded students can be awarded up to 60 credit points towards their degree for language study in China. Students may enrol at beginners, advanced or other levels depending on their background and experience. Commencing students are allocated to the appropriate class by the lecturer. Students normally require at least a C grade pass in their current Chinese unit to proceed to the next level. Programs of studyTo qualify for a degree with a major in Chinese, a student must pass a minimum of 130 credit points of Chinese units, including 60 credit points of third year units. Depending on a student’s prior knowledge of and/or qualifications in Chinese language when they commence their degree, there are three different major streams: beginners, advanced and dialect speakers. Students whose first language is Mandarin should refer to the section below. The major requirements for these streams are as follows. Beginners’ streamThis stream is for students with no prior knowledge of Chinese. These students must pass the six units CHI1BEA, CHI1BEB, CHI2BEA, CHI2BEB, CHI3BEA and CHI3BEB, and one other third year unit in Chinese. Advanced streamThis stream is for students who have previously completed VCE Chinese or equivalent. These students must pass the six units CHI1ADA, CHI1ADB, CHI2ADA, CHI2ADB, CHI3ADA and CHI3ADB, and one other third year unit in Chinese. Note: students wishing to qualify as Chinese language teachers in schools must complete this stream. This is the requirement to take Chinese language as a teaching method in the Diploma of Education or the double degree Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Arts Education. Dialect speakers’ streamThis stream is for students who already have fluency in a Chinese dialect but without formal education in Chinese language. These students must pass the six units CHI1DSA, CHI1DSB, CHI2APA, CHI2CMT, CHI3CPA and CHI3CPB, and one other third year unit in Chinese. Mandarin speakersStudents whose first language is Mandarin may join the dialect speakers stream from the second year onwards. A major in Chinese is not available for native Mandarin speakers now, however the following units are available: CHI2/3APA, CHI2/3CCT, CHI2/3CMT, CHI3CPA, and CHI3CPB.
