Course Description

Students in the 7th grade Mandarin Chinese class continue to develop the ability to communicate about themselves and their immediate environment using dsicrete sentences containing basic language structures. This communication is evidenced in three modes—interpersonal, interpretative and presentational—with emphasis on the ability to communicate orally. Students continue to explore and study the themes of personal and family life, school life, social life, and community life.
