 Rhodes University - School of Languages Chinese: the CourseRhodes University is proud to now offer Chinese as a language course in the School of Languages. From 2009, Rhodes University's School of Languages is offering a one year credit-bearing course in Chinese. Previously only Stellenbosch and UNISA offered Chinese in South Africa. This general practical language course is designed for students whose mother tongue is other than Chinese. Depending on sustained enrolment, Chinese might be developed into Chinese 2 and, eventually, Chinese 3. The purpose of the course is to provide an opportunity for learners to acquire some basic communicative skills in Chinese with an awareness of and preliminary understanding of the cultural aspects of Chinese. This will include the acquisition of some aspects of a basic repertoire of Chinese characters in terms of their uses in everyday spoken and written situations, with a view to their cultural context of communication in Chinese. Students who have successfully completed the course will be able to understand and speak Chinese in a number of everyday situations and will know a basic set of Chinese characters. The course comprises three lectures, one tutorial and one practical session per week. Scholarships for intensive short courses in China will be available for students who perform well in this course.
