Year 11 Chinese
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.

- Communicate information, ideas and opinions in the form of letters, reviews, emails or blogs.
- Express and respond to personal ideas and opinions.
- Communicate appropriately in different situations, e.g. restaurant, shops or on streets.
- Understand ways in which the target language and culture are organised for different purposes, e.g. letters, posters or blog entries.
