GCSE Mandarin places an emphasis on culture contents, which are combined with language objectives and methods of teaching to provide a nurturing learning environment. The cultural element is aimed at cultivating students’ cultural consciousness and extend their cultural vision, which in turn makes it a more effective learning tool.
A-Level Mandarin
The AS Chinese course provides a smooth transition from GCSE to AS level, and the A2 Chinese course completes the course through to A2, following the new three-unit exam specification. A2 Level Chinese Course covers the five A2 topics, followed by chapters specifically covering the Research-based writing aspect of the exam. The course books progressively build the acquisition of Chinese language skills, concepts, knowledge, understanding and key skills.
HSK Mandarin, the Chinese Proficiency Test or the Chinese Standard Exam, is China's only standardized test of Standard Chinese language proficiency for non-native speakers such as foreign students and overseas Chinese.
