how to send your work to your te kura teacher
posting
Please put your full name, the booklet code (for example, ZH1001) on your work.
Your supervisor will:
•• have one of your ID labels to stick on your work
•• use the Te Kura address card on top of your work
•• and put them in one of the green plastic bags provided by Te Kura.
On the right top corner of the address card, please write your Te Kura teacher’s name to ensure
the work is delivered to the right teacher to mark. You can find your teacher’s name and contact
details in your course information on OTLE.
emailing
If you email your work, put your name, your Te Kura ID number and the booklet code in the
subject line of your email. organising your study
Plan a regular time to study. Some people learn best from frequent short sessions while others do
better with fewer, longer sessions. It is important to have a plan or a timetable and to keep to it.
There is a suggested planner in the back of this guide for you to plan your programme of study.
You may wish to consult with your subject teacher to help you decide on your plan.
Getting your study underway is very important. Your first return of work should be two to three
weeks after you first received your initial work. If you have any issues returning your work within
this time please contact your subject teacher.
For more information on how to study successfully, refer to the Student Guide to Years 11–13
(www.tekura.school.nz).
te kura codes
Your course code is: ZH1000. ZH is the code for Chinese/Zhōngwén and the 1 refers to level 1.
‘ZH’ refers to a booklet that covers a particular learning topic in the ZH1000 course.
For example, ZH1001 is the first booklet in this course.
‘Y1’ refers to an internal assessment activity. For example, ZH1008Y1 is an assessment for
Achievement Standard AS90869. ‘AS’ is the code for Achievement Standard.
‘A’ refers to a practice assessment. For example, ZH1006A is a practice assessment.

getting started information
resources you need to get started
•• Te Kura booklets, supplements, assessments and audio files.
•• A CD player or computer that can play audio files.
•• A computer with internet and email access (highly recommended).
ways you can record your spoken chinese for your
teacher
Record on your computer hard drive and either burn a CD to send with your written work
or email your recording to your teacher at Te Kura. NZQA no longer accepts cassette
tapes, so spoken work for achievement standards must be sent to Te Kura in a digital form, for
example, in a .mp3 or .wav format.
self-assessment
Many assessment activities are self-marked. You’ll find an Answer guide towards the back of
each booklet. Refer to this Answer guide to help you mark your own work and make corrections
where necessary.
Self-marking is very important as it gives you instant feedback on how well you understand the
ideas, concepts or information that has been covered.
assessment
Te Kura students are required to send in their self-marked activities as well as their internal or
practice external assessments. Your teacher will go over your work and send it back to you with
feedback and feed forward.
Internal assessments for this course are:
•• ZH1008Y1/AS90869 Chinese 1.2 Spoken presentation – you plan, prepare and practise a
spoken presentation and then record it
•• ZH1000W/AS90872 Chinese 1.5 Portfolio writing – you write a variety of different types of
Chinese texts.
The detailed criteria for achievement and unit standards will be given in the relevant booklets.
The criteria can also be found by searching the subject and level in the NCEA part of the
NZQA website (www.nzqa.govt.nz) and then finding the relevant standard(s). If there are two
assessment opportunities for an achievement standard, one is called ‘Y1’, and the other is called
‘Y2’. For example, ZH1008Y1 is one assessment for AS90869, and there is a further assessment
opportunity in ZH1008Y2.
AS90872 is the portfolio writing achievement standard. You write a number of different texts
as you work through your booklets. You then choose at least two pieces of writing for the final
grade. There is no further assessment opportunity for this achievement standard.
External assessment preparation includes:
•• working through your booklets to develop your listening and reading skills
•• Te Kura practice examinations.
time commitment

ZH1000CA
5
getting started information
There are 11 booklets in this course. Each one is likely to take about 10 to 12 hours to complete.
Before deciding on the pace of learning, read through this Course and assessment guide and ask
yourself the following questions:
•• How much time can I set aside for study each week?
•• Will I be able to keep a steady pace of five hours of study each week?
•• Will I be completing externally and internally assessed standards?
•• Will I have done enough preparation to sit the external examination in November/December?
•• What do I want to do next year? How many credits will I need beforehand to be able
to do this?
•• Will I need specific external or internal credits as a prerequisite for next year’s study or work?
normal pace of learning
As a guide, you should expect to do at least five hours work per week. Allow four to five hours a
week working through each booklet and one to two hours a week for revision. This level of work
will allow you to complete three to four booklets each term so that you can complete the course
before the external examinations at the end of the school year.
flexible pace of learning
If you have less than a year because you started later or need to finish earlier, you can decide the
pace at which you work. You could still complete the whole course by devoting more time and
effort to it. If you inform your teacher beforehand, they can ensure that you receive the resources
you need in time to do this.
choosing topics and standards
You may wish to do only some topics. For example, you may only want to do internal standards in
this course. You need to discuss this with your Chinese teacher at Te Kura. You should consider
how well this will meet your learning goals and whether you will be able to gain enough credits to
achieve your NCEA.
To be awarded NCEA Level 1, you will need to gain a minimum of 80 credits at Level 1 (or above)
including the 10 credits for literacy and the 10 credits for numeracy.
A list of achievement standards from levels 1, 2 and 3 that count towards Level 1 literacy and
numeracy can be accessed from:
www.nzqa.govt.nz/about-us/our-role/legislation/nzqa-rules/secondary-schools-supportinginformation/level-1-literacy-and-numeracy-requirements/
cover sheets
There is a cover sheet at the back of the work you send to your teacher. Fill it in and sign it
6
ZH1000CA
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
getting started information
before sending your work back to Te Kura. In certain circumstances, a supervisor from a school
that is supervising your work will also need to sign this sheet as part of Te Kura authenticity
requirements.
All students are encouraged to submit as much as possible of their work online via the OTLE
Dropbox. When work requires authentication, students will follow the instructions provided in
OTLE.
Note: The NCEA internally assessed standards must be done with your supervisor present. If you
are attending a school, this must be a supervisor from your school.
queries about your work
It is important to contact your teacher at Te Kura if you have any queries about your work. It
helps to have your ID number, booklet code (for example, ZH1001) and the activity or question
number handy when you contact your teacher.
booklets
The booklets are yours to keep, so you can be really active about using them – make notes,
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
ZH1000CA

how to get the best from the course
highlight things you want to remember, write corrections to your answers on the page so that you
can learn from your mistakes.
audio files
Listen to the audio files as many times as you want. If you do not understand something the first
time you hear it, repeat the track again until you do. All the Chinese you hear is spoken by a
Chinese speaker, so the more you listen and use it as a model for practising aloud, the more your
brain will absorb and remember – the sounds, the rhythm and the tune of real Chinese language.
recording yourself speaking
It’s really important that your teacher can listen to you speaking. Here are some ways you could
do your recording:
•• Record an MP3 file and email it to your teacher. Include your name, ID number and booklet
number in the subject line of your email.
Or
•• Record an MP3 file and burn it onto a CD to send in with your booklet. Write your name,
ID number and booklet number on the face of the CD with an indelible pen.
The software we recommend our students use for recording audio files can be downloaded free
from www.handybits.com/voicemail.htm
checking
You will check most of your own work in the Answer guide section at the back of the booklet.
This gives you immediate feedback so that you can learn from your mistakes. It is important that
you check your work carefully. Compare your answers with the model answers. If your answers
are different, go back to your booklet and go over the explanations so you know where you went
wrong and how to improve. If you are still unsure after doing this, ask your teacher for help.
At the end of each booklet, there is a Reference Section. Remove this section before you send
the booklet to your teacher for checking. It’s a good idea to file these Reference Sections and use
them for revision and to look up anything you may have forgotten.
revision
When you are speaking or writing a foreign language, you can only use what you can remember,
so it’s important to learn as you go and revise frequently – daily, weekly, monthly.

assessment information
standards
The National Qualifications Framework has two types of national standards: achievement and
unit standards. Credits from both achievement and unit standards count towards NCEA. We only
offer achievement standards towards NCEA for Chinese.
Please refer to our publication Student Guide to National Certificates or Te Kura
(www.tekura.school.nz) and NZQA websites (www.nzqa.govt.nz) for more information
about NCEA and assessment.
internal assessment
Some achievement standards are assessed internally. This means that the teachers at Te Kura set
and mark your assessments.
assessment tasks
There are two internally assessed achievement standards in this course. Your speech AS90869
and the writing portfolio AS90872. If you are dually enrolled, you can download the assessment
tasks from OTLE anytime.
•• AS90869 Chinese 1.2 Spoken presentation
ZH1008Y1 is the assessment for the spoken presentation achievement standard. It will
be sent to you later in the course. Your spoken presentation needs to be completed with
a school’s supervision. It will have to be delivered to Te Kura in a digital format. For audio
files, we accept .mp3 or .wav files. If you opt for filming your presentation, the file needs to
be Windows Media Player or VLC media player compatible. You can email your digital files
to your teacher at Te Kura or burn them onto a CD and send the CD with the rest of your
written work.
•• AS90872 Chinese 1.5 Writing portfolio
The writing assessments are included in your writing portfolio pack (ZH1000W). You will
receive the portfolio pack in your first posting. You should complete each booklet with the
same code, before you do the corresponding Y1 assessment. For example, you need to do
booklet ZH1004 first, before you do the ZH1004Y1 writing task.
external assessment
External assessment means that someone outside the school marks your work. This external
assessment is completed through NZQA examinations at the end of the year. The externally
assessed standards are AS90868 listening and AS90871 reading. You will practice for the
external standards as you work through your booklets and sit the Te Kura practice examination.
te kura practice examinations
It is important that you complete the Te Kura practice examinations for any external standards
you have entered. If for some reason, such as illness, you are unable to sit the examinations
in November, you will only be eligible for consideration for a derived grade (compassionate
consideration) if you have completed the practice examinations.

assessment information
further assessment opportunities for
internal assessments
For some standards, you may be able to complete a second assessment called a ‘further
assessment opportunity’ to improve your results. The standards this applies to are indicated in
the course outline. You should take this opportunity where it is available.
resubmissions
If you have made a small mistake in your assessment, your teacher may offer you a resubmission.
This recognises that you have made an error that you are capable of discovering and correcting
by yourself. A resubmission allows you to improve your result.
authenticity
Authenticity means you can only complete and submit work that is your own. When you submit
work to Te Kura, you sign an authentication declaration that the work you are submitting is your
own work and was completed under the required assessment conditions. In certain situations, a
school supervisor will have to co-sign this declaration to confirm this.
When submitting work online via the OTLE Dropbox, if it requires authentication, students must
follow the instructions provided in OTLE.
derived grades (compassionate consideration)
If for any unexpected reason you are not able to sit your end-of-year NZQA examination, you may
be eligible for a derived grade. Please refer to the Student Guide to National Certificates and
contact your own school as soon as possible to find out more should you feel this is necessary.
appeals
You have the right to query an assessment result if you want further clarification or if you disagree
with the result. If you are still not satisfied, you may appeal. Refer to the Student Guide to
National Certificates for more information. You can also appeal any other decisions, procedures
or policies about assessments. Contact your teacher at Te Kura if you wish to appeal. More
information and a form that you can use to make your appeal is available on the Te Kura website
in the student tool kit area (www.tekura.school.nz and go to student tool kit).
