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.
