Oral Expression 

  • Engage in conversations in a straightforward manner, but communication is totally dependent on slower-paced repetitions, rephrasing and rectifications
  • Ask and answer simple questions, make simple statements, and respond to statements made to them in areas of immediate need or on very everyday topics
  • Introduce oneself and use basic greetings and farewell expressions. Ask how people are doing and express their reactions to the news
  • Understand everyday expressions aimed at satisfying simple concrete needs provided that the speaker collaborates by addressing them in clear, slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
  • Understand questions and instructions if spoken slowly and carefully, and understand short, simple directions on how to get to a place
  • Ask someone for something, and vice versa
  • Have a good command of numbers, quantities, prices and schedules
  • Make time indications by means of sentences such as, for example, "next week, last Friday, in November, at three o'clock"
  • Respond in an interview to simple and direct questions about personal data, if spoken very slowly and clearly without idioms or set phrases

 

Sociocultural and Sociolinguistic Competence 

  • Become familiar with the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations, as well as with those related to their own field, which will result in the basic adaptation of their behavior to these situations and in the understanding or adequate use of the lexicon and functional exponents
  • Recognize and use the most common forms of social relations and treatment, within a standard register. In regular social situations, recognize and use the usual forms of address used to greet, say goodbye, address someone, give apologize, ask permission, take an interest in people and respond to an offer
  • Understand the behaviors and values that are different from one's own and that underlie the most evident and everyday socio-cultural aspects

 

Linguistic Competence 

  • Manage a basic repertoire of vocabulary and expressions related to the most common situations and functions foreseen in the curriculum
  • Develop a very limited control of linguistic resources, with systematic errors that usually occur at this level

In order to consolidate all these competencies you will have 40 sessions designed by expert teachers and based 100% on the CEFR"

 

Did you know?

Communicative competence is not merely limited to the knowledge and ability to use the linguistic code, but has other broader dimensions, which place it in direct relation with other competences such as information processing and digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competence  or cultural and artistic competence.

This implies a cultural immersion that is only possible through direct and continuous interaction with native speakers and real conversational situations.

That Chinese is one of the oldest languages in the world still in use, has several dialectical variations and has around 20,000 characters, making it a large language that, at first glance, is extremely difficult to learn. However, there are several features that facilitate its study, such as the fact that there are no gender-specific nouns, distinction between plurals and singulars or verb conjugations of time (the latter are used by adding words such as mañana or ayer to the base verb). Are you ready to take your first steps in this language? With TECH you are guaranteed an exceptional learning experience: dynamic, simple and agile, through online conversations with an experienced teacher who will not only help you master the use of new basic words for the development of simple conversations in different contexts, but will also provide you with various strategies to successfully take the certification exam.
