Everyday Mandarin communication and simplified character stroke recognition frame Grade 4 Chinese Language across Term 3, organising 14 class lessons over 9 pages. Junior pupils learn basic conversational exchanges supported by pinyin pronunciation.
The curriculum utilises multimedia DVDs, illustrated story booklets, character flashcards, and interactive songs divided into practical thematic topics:
- My Home Environment: naming immediate family members, identifying domestic living areas, and writing basic radicals for home objects during weeks 2 and 3.
- School Surroundings: speaking common classroom greetings, identifying desks, books, and writing tools in Mandarin, and practising stroke order in week 4.
- Foods and Beverages: expressing culinary likes and dislikes, asking for water or tea politely, and matching food flashcards across weeks 5 and 6.
- Telling Time and Colours: naming days of the week, stating clock hours, identifying primary colours, and sitting final term evaluations in weeks 6 through 8.
