University of Westminster - Modern Languages Evening Programme [Cantonese]

You can take a part-time Cantonese evening class in Central London at the University of Westminster, just a few minutes from Oxford Circus.

 The University of Westminster has always had an extensive programme of evening classes for adults. On the Modern Languages Evening Programme we have beginner and post-beginner part-time Cantonese courses.

 Our part-time Cantonese evening classes run from September to May at our Central London Regent Street campus. They are taught by experienced language teaching professionals who are native speakers of the language or equivalent. Adult students of all ages and nationalities from a wide range of backgrounds take part-time Cantonese courses with us. You can also join a Cantonese evening class in January for the second semester if you already have some knowledge of Cantonese.

 To find out on which evening our part-time Cantonese courses are held, which levels are available and class times, see Timetables.

 Further information on our Cantonese evening classes

 All Modern Languages Evening Programme courses are communicative in nature. Although all 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening are taught, emphasis is placed on speaking and listening. The approach of all our staff is to make lessons enjoyable with varied activities and a friendly atmosphere. Homework is set to help you progress in your language learning.

 Proficiency levels

 Below is a guide to the proficiency levels that apply to the part-time Cantonese courses offered on the Modern Languages Evening Programme:

Grade 1   

First exposure to Cantonese for beginners, allowing you to start to communicate. No prior knowledge assumed.

 Grade 2

Post-beginner level allowing you to extend your range of basic skills.

  Course book

 "Three-in-One" and materials prepared by the teacher with additional material from a variety of other sources in both Grade 1 and Grade 2.

 Teaching approach

 New vocabulary and constructions are presented orally using communicative methods, with strong emphasis on speaking and listening. The aim is to teach the grammar without over-emphasising it or forcing the pace. Where necessary, explanations in the book are supplemented by handouts.

 Other activities

 If students are interested, trips can be organised to restaurants, China Town, etc.

  Staff profile

 After originally qualifying as a teacher of Chinese, Cantonese and English, lecturer Wendy Yip has taught Cantonese courses to school children, undergraduates and adults. She has taught at the University of Westminster since 2007 and is also a freelance translator of Chinese.
