For the first course in the beginning Chinese sequence. For learning Mandarin Chinese.

Recognizing that the world is becoming increasingly interlinked and globalized, the goal of the Chinese Link project is to integrate the "5Cs" principles of the National Standards for Foreign Language Education - Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Connections, and Communities - throughout the program.

By incorporating the "5Cs," the 2nd edition of Beginning Chinese, Simplified Character Version, Level 1/Part 1 provides a much-needed new approach for the teaching and learning of Chinese language in the 21st century. The program aims to help beginners develop their communicative competence in the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while gaining competence in Chinese culture, exercising their ability to compare aspects of different cultures, making connections to their daily life, and building links among communities.

Chinese Link, 2nd Edition, is available in two volumes (Level 1/Part 1 and Level 1/Part 2) in both traditional and simplified character editions.

Access resources to accompany Chinese Link: Beginning Chinese, Level 1: Parts 1 and 2, 2nd Edition.
