LETTERS | 138 LETTERS | Dear JADE Editor, Letter Title September 2016 is a time for Keele students to embrace a new academic year. I am pleased to announce that CHI-9007 Mandarin for Cantonese Speakers at the Language Learning Unit (LLU) has been approved by HumSS and is ready for Semester 1 2016/7. Letter to the Editor Author(s) Emily Ouyang Contact [email protected] This module is open to native speakers of Cantonese who wish to express ideas in Mandarin Chinese fluently and improve their ability to interact with native Mandarin speakers; to widen learners’ idiomatic and colloquial Mandarin knowledge; to improve competency in Mandarin sufficiently to be able to take Chinese 6 at Keele University. Intended learning outcomes are to understand the main points of clear standard speech in Mandarin Chinese on familiar matters and focus on four key speech patterns or set constructions. Students should have some prior knowledge of written simplified Chinese. Yours sincerely, Emily Ouyang Mandarin Chinese Tutor Language Learning Unit Keele University Reference: e-vision KLE – CHI-9007 at Keele Learning Environment (KLE) Language Learning Unit Office CBB0.039 Mandarin Tutor Office CBB1.006
