The Routledge Course in 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 strong emphasis on the development of communicative
skills.
The complete course consists of Textbook Level 1, Workbook level
1 - including free CDs, Textbook level 2 and workbook level 2
-including free CDs. All books are available separately in
simplified as well as traditional characters and take the students
from complete beginner to post-intermediate level.
Textbook Level 2 incorporates the innovative features of Level 1
including the separation of vocabulary from characters, a "basic to
complex" introduction of grammatical structures, a comprehensive
companion workbook with extensive practice in all language skills
and functions, and a Teachers Manual.
Level 2 adds a "Narrative" Component to support the learner as
they move from spoken Mandarin to formal written Chinese, and from
the comprehension and production of short sentences to paragraphs
and essays. Level 2 of this Course in Modern Mandarin bridges the
gap that characterizes the transition between basic level Chinese
courses and more advanced work. The Narrative Component
includes:
- Model narratives that introduce formal written Chinese with
explanations of the features of each narrative.
- Focus on narrative function including description, comparison,
explanation, persuasion, and hypothesis.
- Reading and writing assignments that guide students to
internalize model structures, to read for information, and to
compose original essays for specific purposes.
The course is also fully supported by an interactive companion
website which contains a wealth of additional resources for both
teachers and students.
- Teachers will find lesson plans in both English and Mandarin,
providing a weekly schedule and overall syllabus for fall and
spring, as well as activities for each lesson and answer keys.

worksheets along with interactive pronunciation, vocabulary and
character practice exercises. All the audio material necessary for
the course is also available online and conveniently linked on
screen to the relevant exercises for ease-of-use.
