Applied Learning Chinese (for non-Chinese speaking students)

 

Applied Learning Chinese (for non-Chinese speaking students) (ApL(C)), introduced since the 2014/15 school year, is designed to provide a simulated applied learning context to help NCS students meeting specified circumstances^# build a foundation for using Chinese in the workplace and obtain an alternative Chinese language qualification to prepare them for further studies and career pursuits. In the language learning process, students apply listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in an integrated way and learn the Chinese language in different contexts. Schools admitting NCS students should consider whether to offer ApL(C) courses at S4 taking into account the language ability, interests and aspirations of their NCS students.

 

^# Students who have learned Chinese Language for less than six years while receiving primary and secondary education; or students who have learned Chinese Language for six years or more in schools, but have been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese Language curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in local schools.
