Summary of module content
An integrated approach incorporating listening, speaking, and reading skills (including grammar and vocabulary) will be adopted. However, a specific language skill (including basic writing) may be emphasized more than others in a specific module or level. Specific assistance on HSK tests and basic dissemination of Chinese culture will be offered as well.
The online classroom
Classes may be taught on Zoom, Teams or other platforms.

Registration & Material fee amounts to R300 per semester. Tuition is Free.
The number of lessons per week:
Two classes of 60 minutes each per week, over a period of 10 weeks (excluding public holidays).

If the number of participants is fewer than five, a course may be canceled or, after careful consideration, two classes may be combined.
Expected outcomes:
Participants should be able to demonstrate language ability in certain daily communication and should be able to pass
