Thai 3 is an Advanced Beginner-Low Intermediate level course. The course covers a wider range of structural forms; as well as the use of markers to indicate the linking of ideas and arguments in Thai. This course also covers a limited range of historical, cultural, and contemporary social topics in Thai. Students use their growing socio-linguistic skills to read and listen to both modified and short unmodified texts and audio-visual media on relevant themes and situations. Students develop grammatical understanding through spoken, written, and translation exercises in Thai. By the end of the couse, students at this level are able to converse on a range of familiar and concrete topics with native speakers who are willing to speak clearly and simply without colloquialism. Students can discuss and write about selected social and cultural issues in Thai, and gain some cultural understanding of prevalent Thai perceptions and practices appropriate to the level of the course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Use an active Thai vocabulary of around 1000 items.
2. Recognise and use markers to indicate linking of ideas and arguments in Thai langauge.
3. Read, comprehend, and produce simple, longer Thai written passages with a wider range of structural forms on non-technical topics with the aid of substantial vocabulary lists and a dictionary.
4. Use Thai language in conversational situations on familiar and concrete topics including a limited range of historical, cultural, and contemporary social issues.
5. Demonstrate a cultural understanding of prevalent Thai perceptions and practices appropriate to the language level.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of the ANU culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically, committing to honest and responsible scholarly practice and upholding these values with respect and fairness.

The ANU commits to assisting all members of our community to understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to be familiar with the academic integrity principle and Academic Misconduct Rule, uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with.

The Academic Misconduct Rule is in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Very minor breaches of the academic integrity principle may result in a reduction of marks of up to 10% of the total marks available for the assessment. The ANU offers a number of online and in person services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. Visit the Academic Skills website for more information about academic integrity, your responsibilities and for assistance with your assignments, writing skills and study.
