Level 2 Chinese

Year 12 Chinese continues the development of language skills built in previous years and aligns with Level 7 of the New Zealand Curriculum. Students extend their ability to understand and produce more detailed spoken and written Chinese across topics such as school life, travel, daily routines, and cultural events. There is a stronger emphasis on expressing personal opinions, giving reasons, and communicating information in a variety of contexts. The course includes three internal assessments (interaction, writing, and spoken presentation) and two external assessments (listening and reading comprehension), offering up to 24 Level 2 NCEA credits. Students are expected to use a wider range of vocabulary and sentence patterns, and begin to work with longer and more complex texts.
