Overview
你我他 (Ni Wo Ta) is a complete first-year program that makes learning Chinese easier through a proven pedagogy, and comprehensive cultural coverage. This textbook is designed with the national standards in mind and builds beginner-level proficiency through three modes of communication: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. INTRODUCTORY CHINESE features a clear, easy-to-follow structure that is ideal for instructors with any level of teaching experience.
- Clear organization. Units are theme-based and structured around key communicative goals. The program adopts a clear, easy-to-follow structure, with each unit organized by two color-coded lessons: Parts A and B.
- Accessible grammar. INTRODUCTORY CHINESE offers a comprehensive and systematic grammar framework, providing a solid linguistic foundation for students. The grammar items are carefully sequenced to match the unit topics and communicative goals.
- High-frequency vocabulary. The vocabulary program adopts a bottom-up approach and equips learners with the necessary “building blocks” to allow for more substantive and creative expressions.
- Rich culture program. The textbook incorporates rich and engaging cultural content through its video program and culture-based readings. These features are set in the context of various Chinese communities and foster the learner's culture awareness from a global point of view.
- Comprehensive unit review. The Review and Integration section at the end of each unit summarizes key vocabulary and grammar, while further reinforcing students' interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication skills.
