Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

#1 Choice for 3rd-year and 4th-year College Chinese. With free video clips and audio files. Written by professors from top Universities in the U.S. In simplified and traditional characters. In this new edition, we kept the topics of the first eleven lessons from the previous version but made small modifications to the dialogues and texts so they are more up to date and relevant. Three new topics are added: Ordinary People and Children of the Elite (Lesson 4), Democracy and the Modern Life (Lesson 6) and Influence of Contemporary Arts (Lesson 14). This made both Part 1 and Part 2 of this new edition contain seven topics. Adding these three new lessons allows students to discuss more current topics. It also better distributes the amount of new vocabulary across each lesson and creates new contexts for the students to review and practice them. In Part 2, the 7 topics are: Leftover Population in the Marriage Market, Studying Abroad and Emigrating, Chinese Idioms and Chinese Cross Talks, Colloquial Idioms and Satirical Rhymes, Health and Gastronomy, From Revolutions to Pop music, and the Influence of Arts . Notes of reviewed vocabulary from previous lessons are added to the listening dialogues, reading texts, sample sentences and workbook exercises. This will make it easier for students to preview and review each lesson. At the same time, it will give instructors flexibility to select or shuffle the lessons to best fit their needs. We also included the transcripts of the dialogues at the end of the listening section and added more speaking activities related to the students’ daily life. We also filmed a skit for each lesson to teach action verbs and narrative abilities and added warm-up activities, culture notes and authentic materials to each topic. In the workbook, vocabulary exercises are given in chunks to help students review vocabulary in corresponding stages. Exercises in Chinese characters are also given to help student memorize them more systematically and to strengthen their concept of character-based lexicon learning.
