Dear Liz,
May be interested in this. Colleague and myself have been
waiting all year for Cambridge to deliver their Pre-U Mandarin
training, postponed once already.
Hope you're well.

Subj: Re: Listening
Resources suitable for Pre-U or AS/A2 level
Hi all,
Another useful
site for listening is Clavis Sinica, who have some audio texts,
particularly a “Chinese Voices project’ that i have found useful for
Pre-U Mandarin.
On a related note, for those of you teaching Chinese
History as part of the Pre-U Mandarin Course, Sovereign education were
going to run an AS/A2 study day on the Emergence of Mao’s China in
London, which pretty much ties in with the Pre-U history syllabus.
Unfortunately they had too few takers, so cancelled the event, but may
run in towards the end of the year. This is the link to the course: http://www.sovereigneducation.co.uk/courses/history/the-emergence-of-maos-china/
If you are interested, please do get in touch with either them
directly, or email me so that I can give them some idea of who to
contact if the event does go ahead later in the year. They were not
aware they had a potential audience outside of history departments.

is hard for our students, and recently I have made a big effort in this
area. Here is what I have learnt:

than that, I do dictations with them, and especially push pinyin when
we learn new vocab as they find it hard. I NEVER tell them the pinyin
and tones for new vocab any more.
