Summary: Edexcel Chinese for A Level is a two-part course, addressing the requirements of the new Edexcel GCE A Level specification offered for first teaching in September 2008. Edexcel Chinese for AS provides a smooth transition from GCSE to AS level, and Edexcel Chinese for A2 completes the course through to A2, following the new three-unit exam specification.
Edexcel Chinese for A2 Level covers the five A2 topics, followed by chapters specifically covering the Research-based writing aspect of the exam. The coursebooks progressively build the acquisition of Chinese language skills, concepts, knowledge, understanding and key skills.
