    Course Description

    The purpose of this course is to enable students to learn Chinese through a linguistic, communicative, and cultural approach to language learning. Emphasis is placed on the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills and on acquisition of the fundamentals of applied grammar. Cross-cultural understanding is fostered and real-life applications are emphasized throughout the course.

     

    Course Objectives

     The students will be able to communicate verbally (speaking and listening), and they will also be able to read and write Chinese at a reasonable level.

     

    Course Outline

    Each 9 week period will contain its own grade.  This means that with a new 9 week grading period, everyone starts with a clean slate.  This way, if a student does not earn the desired grade in one particular grading period, he or she can start fresh with the next marking without the prior grade affecting the new grading period’s progress.  Semester exams will be administered at the end of the 1st and 2nd semesters based on materials from each of those semesters.

     

      

    Policies and Procedures

    Electronic devices will not be permitted to be used in class unless given specific permission by the teacher.  If it is determined that an electronic device is being used inappropriately, the device will be confiscated and turned in to the appropriate grade level dean. 

     

    Grading

    • Grades will be calculated on a total point basis. I do not have weight categories.
    • Your student’s grade will consist of tests, quizzes, oral tests, dictations, class work, group assignments, presentations, and participation.
    • In the event of a student's absence, the district policy on making up work will be followed.
    • Students will be given a user name and password from the school that will assist the student in tracking his or her exact grade in this class at all times. Also, students and parents are both encouraged to access grades on the FOCUS online program to monitor student progress at all times.
    • The course will use the Charlotte County School District Standard Grading Scale: 90-100% A ; 80-89% B ; 70-79% C ; 60-69%  D; 0-59% F
