COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course summary

Mandarin is the first language of more than one billion people and is the most spoken language in the world. China has a 5,000-year history and culture and boasts the fastest-growing economy worldwide. Cultural and economic exchange between China and its neighbours is continually increasing and Chinese language skills are now in great demand. The Chinese (Mandarin) for Non-Chinese Background Students major is for students who have no prior knowledge of the language, or of Chinese characters.

You will study Mandarin language, grammar, culture and history and learn from the comparative linguistic perspective. You will also learn to express yourself clearly and accurately in spoken and written Mandarin in a wide range of situations including social and the global business market. Be equipped to recognise and respond personally to differences between Chinese culture and your own cultural heritage by analysing film, poetry and other cultural products.

What you will study

Core subjects will teach you to speak Mandarin for social situations before moving on to speaking advanced Mandarin, and learning about Chinese heritage, modern Chinese history and contemporary China.

In addition to the Mandarin major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
