The Form III Chinese Course at Tesea Academy is a well-structured program designed to help Tanzanian secondary school students master Chinese language (Mandarin) based on the New NECTA Syllabus. This course builds strong language foundations by improving learners’ ability to communicate confidently, read and understand structured texts, write correctly, and develop accurate pronunciation and listening skills.

Form III is a key level where students move beyond basic greetings and simple sentence patterns into more structured grammar, expanded vocabulary, and meaningful communication in real-life contexts.
