Recognise the four tones and their function in Chinese, and compare consonant and vowel sounds in Chinese and English (ACLCHU122)
Elaborations

- practising the ‘flow’ of a sentence in Chinese, using gesture to help demonstrate tone and stress
- performing or reciting texts with strong rhythmic features such as nursery rhymes or tongue twisters, for example, 《猴子穿新衣》
