Description: Chaoyue: Advancing in Chinese by Natasha Pierce, Yea-Fen Chen, Mei-Ju Hwang, Frances Yufen Lee Mehta, Yuanchao Meng, Amanda Wood Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Chaoyue: Advancing in Chinese covers the five Cs-communication, cultures, comparisons, connections, and communities-and follows three communicative modes in lesson design: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The authors arrange their lessons around four topics intrinsically interesting to students: the self, schooling, social customs, and the global village, fostering a full appreciation of Chinese culture. Each lesson contains warm-up activities, mini-dialogues, authentic readings, conversational relays, a cultural unit, examples of sentence patterns, and a vocabulary list. Two review lessons are geared specifically toward synthesizing and reinforcing the language and culture skills taught throughout the book, and footnote glossaries assist in reading comprehension.Written by experienced Chinese language instructors, Chaoyue helps students reach the preadvanced proficiency level within two semesters, or approximately 150 to 180 hours of course time. The preadvanced stage is comparable to a fourth-semester college Chinese course, or 250 hours of instruction. Unlike other language texts, Chaoyue is printed in both simplified and traditional Chinese characters, as well as the phonetic systems used in China (pinyin) and Taiwan (zhuyin fuhao). It also includes a CD-ROM with additional assignments and review as well as an online teacher manual.Lesson sections include: Warm-up activities that articulate the lessons theme and activate students prior knowledgeShort readings in the form of letters, e-mails, reports, dialogues, stories, and interviewsDialogue practice with key vocabulary and sentence patternsInteractive activities such as surveys, debates, and small group discussionsConversational relays that ask pairs to complete minidialoguesAuthentic readings in the form of advertisements, Web sites, maps, and signs, with multiple-choice review questionsCommon expressions that relate to the lesson theme Author Biography Yea-Fen Chen is coordinator of the Chinese language program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has been teaching Chinese for over twenty years.
