Description

This textbook, prepared for American students who have already completed two semesters of Chinese, does not “talk down” to the student, and its up to date subject matter will provoke classroom discussion. Successfully encouraging speaking in addition to reading practice, the work progresses from correspondence and dialogue to short essays. Lessons 1 through 10 center of attention on college life in the USA, 11 through 15 concern political and social issues in up to date China, and 16 through 20 present biographies of three well-known figures in Chinese intellectual history and analyses of the Chinese Democracy Movement and the Tiananmen Square incident. Lessons 21 and 22 maintain Chinese translations of foreign place names and the Gulf War and are designed to accustom students to reading Chinese newspapers. The lessons on this text offer sufficient material for a two-semester course with five contact hours per week. For the text and vocabulary traditional and simplified characters are juxtaposed. The exercises of each and every lesson are included within the vocabulary volume. An index to the glossary is included.

Audio and video materials are to be had to be used with this text. For further information, contact the Chinese Linguistics Project, 231 Palmer Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, N.J. 08544. (609-258-4269).
