Thai 5 is an Upper-Intermediate level course. Students read and listen to a range of short-and-medium-length authentic written texts and audio-visual media. Excerpts of literary texts are introduced for figurative meaning exercises. Students discuss and write coherently on a range of selected contemporary issues such as popular culture, economic disparity, gender diversity, environment, and politics. They compare and contrast these topics to the Australian context. Students identify relevant information from the Internet for class activities and assignments. The course builds vocabulary and understanding of complex grammatical construction through written exercises, oral presentations, and spontaneous translation tasks. Students are able to converse on a range of concrete topics and pre-exposed abstract topics with native speakers with less strain from either party.
