William B Travis High School – Chinese V H

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students in Chinese V will be assessed regularly in the three modes of communication: interpersonal (unscripted conversation in order to complete a task), interpretive (reading, listening, viewing), and presentational (rehearsed and revised oral and written products). The focus of the course is authentic, real-world communication, as students continue with a more in- depth survey of literature, civilization, and culture of the places where Mandarin Chinese is spoken, with the main emphasis on literature related to designated course themes. Some students may opt to continue preparing for the AP Language and Culture exam as a first or second attempt. Students in Chinese V will progress toward an intermediate-mid to intermediate- high level of proficiency for reading and writing, and intermediate-high to advanced-low for speaking and listening.
