Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Textbook Level 1, 2nd edition (9781138101104)
Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Workbook Level 1, 2nd edition (9781138101111)
Modern Mandarin Chinese is a two-year undergraduate course for students with no prior background in Chinese study. Designed to build a strong foundation in both the spoken and written language, it develops all the basic skills such as pronunciation, character writing, word use, and structures, while placing a strong emphasis on the development of communicative skills. The complete course consists of the following books:
Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Textbook Level 1
Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Workbook Level 1
Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Textbook Level 2
Modern Mandarin Chinese: The Routledge Course Workbook Level 2
Each level of the course consists of a textbook and workbook in simplified Chinese. A free companion website provides all the audio for the course with a broad range of interactive exercises and additional resources for students' self-study, along with a comprehensive instructor's guide with teaching tips, assessment and homework material, and a full answer key.
Retaining its focus on communicative skills and the long-term retention of characters, the text is now presented in simplified characters and pinyin from the outset with a gradual and phased removal of pinyin as specific characters are introduced and learnt. This unique approach allows students to benefit from the support of pinyin in the initial stages as they begin speaking while ensuring they are guided and supported towards reading only in characters.
