We have focussed on ensuring that our assessments are clear, accessible and discriminate effectively.  \nOur objective is to enable students of all abilities to develop their Chinese (Mandarin) language skills to their full potential, equipping them with the knowledge to communicate in a variety of contexts with confidence.  \nLanguages for life  \nAt AQA we're passionate about the benefits that learning a language can bring. We strongly believe in languages as a skill for life and something students should enjoy and find rewarding. We know you want a specification which you can enjoy teaching, and one which expands your students' cultural knowledge whilst developing their language skills.  \nWe are confident our assessments will deliver the right results for your students. We want to help you to attract students of all abilities to languages and to deliver the assessments and results you and your students deserve.  \nYou can find out about all our (Mandarin) [qualifications at](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)[ ](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)[aqa.org.uk/languages](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.  \n1.2.1 Teaching resources  \n[Visit](Visit aqa.org.uk/8673 to see all)[ ](Visit aqa.org.uk/8673 to see all)[aqa.org.uk/8673](Visit aqa.org.uk/8673 to see all)[ to see all](Visit aqa.org.uk/8673 to see all) our teaching resources.
