Levels 5 and 6: Social competence
Levels 5 and 6: Social competence
By the end of level 6, learners are confident enough to seek out opportunities to use Chinese. They can:
- initiate and sustain a conversation with a sympathetic native speaker, and speak at some length if required
- interact flexibly in familiar social situations and cope with some less familiar ones
- use basic language patterns spontaneously
- write extended passages and simple messages.
Learners also show a willingness to experiment with new language and to read independently. Their behaviour is culturally appropriate in most social situations, and they are sensitive to the values held by Chinese people.
