Developing Chinese Fluency

Offers thematically organized word lists and grammatical structures for comprehensive treatment of five core areas: Objects, People, Nature, Geography, and City.

Develops fluency in each of the five areas in three progressive stages – (1) Building Core Vocabulary builds a strong vocabulary base essential for everyday conversations; (2) Building Expressive Power adds more sophisticated vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, set phrases and native speech patterns to elevate students’ expressive ability; and (3) Building Paragraph Discourse equips students with sentence connectives, transitional words and phrases for paragraph-length connected discourse.

Incorporates a stimulating array of interactive classroom tasks and technology-supported activities that develops fluency, promotes acquisition and reinforces learning.

Lessons are reinforced through exercises in the accompanying Workbook (printed and online)
