The NC levels for Chinese and Japanese are, in addition to the descriptors in
terms of language structures, also specified by the number of characters
learned at each level. This is listed in the last part of NC MFL document,
called modification for Chinese and Japanese. This is different from other
languages as the levels of other languages are described mainly in terms of
language structures.

Quoting Victoria Allen <[log in to unmask]>:
> There are National Curriculum level guides for reading (AT3) and
> writing (AT4) in the back of the National Curriculum document for
> Modern Foreign Languages.
>
> The basic skills remain the same as other MFL. The only one which is
> really different is Level 5 (all skills) and the three tense issue
> (present, past, future) but that actually works in the favour of our
> students as it is much easier in Chinese than say French or German.
>
> The average student is as follows for each year group: Year 7 should
> be aiming for level 2/3; Year 8 should be aiming for level 3/4 and
> Year 9 should be aiming for level 5/6. This is based on students
> starting in Year 7. Adjust accordingly if they have started later.

> Hope that is helpful.
