They will learn to cope with a number of familiar situations which might occur when dealing with Chinese speakers either locally or abroad.  They will learn to use familiar language with some flexibility and pick up some new language from its use in context. They will also start developing some fluency and will be able to read and write more extensive texts as well as take part in controlled conversations.
