VCE Chinese First Language is designed for students who will typically have spent some time as a resident of China and/or have had significant experience of studying Chinese in a country in which Chinese is a major language of communication.

The language to be studied is the modern standard/official version of Chinese. For the purpose of this study design, Modern Standard Chinese is taken to be ‘Putonghua’ in the spoken form and simplified character text in the written form. This does not, however, preclude the use of written texts in full-form or complex (traditional) characters. Students may choose to use either simplified or complex characters in their writing.

This study enables students to:

• communicate with others in Chinese in interpersonal, interpretive and presentational contexts
• understand the relationship between language and culture
• compare cultures and languages, and enhance intercultural awareness
• understand the cultural contexts in which Chinese is spoken and appreciate their own and others’ cultures
• learn about language as a system and themselves as language learners
• make connections between different languages, knowledge and ways of thinking
• become part of multilingual communities by applying language learning to social and leisure activities, life-long learning and the world of work.
