Integrated Chinese: Zhong Wen Ting Du Shuo Xie (Level I Traditional Character Texts)

by Yuehua Liu, Yea-Fen Chen, Nyang-Ping Bi

The Integrated Chinese Level 1 Part 2 Teacher’s Manual contains all the exercises in the student workbooks, as well as workbook answer keys, transcripts of listening exercises and grammar notes in Chinese. This acclaimed, best-selling series is successful because it "integrates" all four language skills--listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Integrated Chinese helps you understand how the Chinese language works grammatically, and how to use Chinese in real life—how to understand it on the street, speak it on the telephone, read it in the newspaper, or write it in a report. The materials within Integrated Chinese’s set of textbooks, workbooks, character workbooks, and audio CDs are divided into sections of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Two types of exercises are traditional exercises (fill-in-the-blank, sentence completion, translation) to help learners build a solid grammatical foundation, and communication-oriented exercises (speaking drills, discussion topics, etc.) to prepare them to function in a Chinese language environment. Frequently, authentic materials written for native Chinese speakers and realia (newspaper clippings, signs, tickets, etc.) are used. Notes on language use and Chinese culture are found throughout the textbooks. The teacher's manual is available in traditional characters only.
