This acclaimed, bestselling beginning Chinese language-learning series “integrates” the best of the grammatical and functional approaches to language acquisition. It is a challenging, cohesive series that stresses all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Level 1 is available in two parts, one for each semester, in traditional or simplified character editions. Level 2 includes both T and S in each book. Teacher’s manuals use T characters only. New in the Integrated Chinese series: Level 2 Character Writing Workbook. Much more than a writing book, it features traditional and simplified characters in one volume, example sentences in traditional characters showing word usage in context, and four useful appendices: A list of proper nouns and measure words, an English-Chinese glossary that includes all the vocabulary in Levels 1 and 2, a Chinese character index including all characters appearing in Levels 1 and 2, and example sentences in simplified form. Teacher’s Manuals The 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.
