Thai 6 is an Advanced Intermediate level course. Students read and listen to a range of medium-and-full-length authentic written texts and audio-visual media. Implicit meanings and contextual understanding are also emphasised. Students discuss and write coherently on a broader range of topics such as current affairs, the economy, the politics of inequality, soft power, Thailand in the context of ASEAN and the Mekong Subregion, and Thailand and Australia relations. They offer comparative perspectives on various topics. Students identify and evaluate information from various resources for personal interests, class activities, and assignments. Students expand their technical vocabulary and understanding of complex grammatical construction through written exercises, oral presentations, and spontaneous translation tasks. Students are independent and able to converse on a range of topics with native speakers without strain from either party.
