Mandarin Chinese is the most widely used language on earth. The reasons for learning a language used by what will no doubt become the biggest economy in the world are obvious - but the advantages of learning to use and speak Chinese are not just for business. Whether it's a holiday or just an interest in one of the oldest civilisations in the world or just out of curiosity you will find learning this wonderful language truly fascinating. In the courses you will learn not only to speak and understand but also to use the written characters.
UIC London offers a wide choice of Chinese language courses. Lessons include a balance of conversation, listening, pronunciation, grammar to help you survive and communicate in everyday situations in Chinese.
With the aid of a text book, the syllabus aims to provide useful, relevant language using up-to-date and interesting materials, as well as encouraging participants to practise the language to help confidence and develop fluency.
We use an interactive method of teaching based on learning by practising. That means that grammar is covered as much as possible by using practical situations, so speaking and actively using the language is central. Successfully implementing the interactive method totally depends on the personal attention your teacher is able to give you. Our groups never have more than twelve students on all courses.
A large part of the study material is presented in the form of practical activities and exercises through which you will learn to understand and speak Chinese almost without noticing. In class, we make use of videos and other audio-visual materials. Naturally you will also be set weekly homework!
