The Diploma in Chinese will prepare students for careers in service industries such as tourism and hospitality, banking and finance, import and export, diplomacy and many other professions where particular skills of Chinese language and culture are required. You will also develop approaches to reading academic texts and learning academic vocabulary. You will gain experience in giving formal presentations and learn how to speak confidently and persuasively in more informal academic contexts. Other academic study skills will also be developed in the first semester including listening to lectures as well as using computers and the university library for research. Once this initial process of academic socialisation has been achieved, semester two will give you the opportunity to try these skills out through the study of English language and literature. These papers are designed to not only extend your understanding of the English language and culture, but to develop the types of analytical and critical thinking skills necessary for degree level academic study. In addition, you will have the benefit of our Undergraduate Writing for Academic Purposes paper, which concentrates on developing academic writing and critical thinking skills relevant to your other fields of study. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Employment in organisations that involve communicating in a bilingual
capacity, and/or require knowledge of New Zealand culture. FURTHER STUDIES Bachelor of Arts in English Studies PAPERS
