This course covers three major themes: the individual, Chinese-speaking communities, and the connections between those communities and aspects of the changing world.
Learning a language enables students to develop generic transferable skills and capabilities and a range of strategies necessary for life-long learning. Languages enable students to examine the construction of culture, to value their personal identity through their understanding of, and sensitivity towards, others and to engage successfully with different communities and cultures.
Students who have received full time education in this language for one or more years MUST only be assessed in Chinese (background speaker) CN813. Teachers and students should contact the TQA to obtain details regarding CN813.

The following processes will be facilitated by the TQA to ensure there is:
- a match between the standards for achievement specified in the course and the standards demonstrated by students
- community confidence in the integrity and meaning of the qualification.
CHN315109 Processes - the TQA gives course providers feedback about any systematic differences in the relationship of their internal and external assessments and, where appropriate, seeks further evidence through audit and requires corrective action in the future.
CHN215109 Processes - the TQA will verify that the provider's course delivery and assessment standards meet the course requirements and community expectations for fairness, integrity and validity of qualifications the Authority issues. This will involve checking:
- student attendance records; and
- course delivery plans (the sequence of course delivery/tasks and when assessments take place):
- assessment instruments and rubrics (the 'rules' or marking guide used to judge achievement)
- class records of assessment
- examples of student work that demonstrate the use of the marking guide
- samples of current student's work, including that related to any work requirements articulated in the course document.
This process will usually also include interviews with past and present students.
It will be scheduled by the TQA using a risk-based approach.
