that features a dramatic series filmed entirely in China. The
program's highly communicative approach immerses learners in the

combining a compelling story line with a wealth of educational
materials, Encounters weaves a tapestry of Chinese language and
culture rich in teaching and learning opportunities. Encounters
follows a carefully structured and cumulative approach. Students

vocabulary, and pronunciation skills along the way. The Encounters
program includes: * Two Full-color Student Books for introductory
Chinese study * Annotated Instructor's Editions with answer keys
and suggested class activities * Two Character Writing Workbooks
linked directly to the Student Book * Ten hours of video materials,
comprising dramatic episodes, cultural segments, and animations,

audio material, linked to the Student Books, for listening and
speaking practice * A website, www.encounterschinese.com, providing
access to all audiovisual material of the program upon adoption

and its media. Students who purchase an eBook, or who are looking
to extend their access to the website material, must buy a new
access code. These codes are available at

Communicating in Chinese is for the beginning learner. The series
now includes three student books and two teacher activity books,
and provides the framework for a proficiency-based approach to
learning standard Chinese. Focusing on all four skills (listening,
speaking, reading, writing), the program consists of a series of
graded tasks that approximate the real-life tasks that a student
might face. The approach requires students to learn and manipulate
vocabulary and structures to achieve specific real-life ends. The
content of each lesson provides the student with the necessary
resources, and the practice to develop the necessary skills, to use
Chinese to achieve these ends. The Communicating in Chinese
curriculum consists of task-based, interactive classroom exercises.
The focus is on the learner, and students are encouraged to develop
their own strategies to determine and express meaning. The material
covers a variety of daily life needs, including becoming
acquainted, making appointments, shopping, engaging in leisure
activities, obtaining food and drink, and using transportation. All
of these activities are presented in context at home, in school, or
in common public places. Through exposure to practical reading
texts such as street signs, menus, advertisements, schedules,
forms, and hand-written notes-in simplified and traditional
characters-students gain familiarity with a wide range of Chinese
written styles, and learn to convey simple messages by writing
Chinese characters as well. The Communicating in Chinese series has
been adopted by many schools and colleges throughout the United
States and abroad.
"Exploring in Chinese" is an intermediate-level multimedia Chinese
program consisting of a student text and accompanying DVD that uses
unscripted dialogues as the basis for students to make the
transition from the basic skills acquired at the elementary level
to the more complex comprehension skills required at the
intermediate level. This two-volume set spans the third and fourth
semesters of study, following the first two semesters covered in
the elementary program, "Communicating in Chinese," also by Cynthia
Ning.
