This course is designed to give you a practical command of spoken Standard Chinese. You will learn both to understand and to speak it. Although Standard Chinese is one language there are differences between the particular form it takes in Beijing and the form it takes in the rest of the country. There are also of course significant nonlinguistic differences between regions of the country. Reflecting these regional differences the settings for most conversations are Beijing and Taipei. This course represents a new approach to the teaching of foreign languages. In many ways it redefines the roles of teacher and student of classwork and homework and of text and tape. Here is what you should expect: The focus is on communicating in Chinese in practical situations--the obvious ones you will encounter upon arriving in China. You will be communicating in Chinese most of the time you are in class. You will not always be talking about real situations but you will almost always be purposefully exchanging information in Chinese. How the Course Is Organized The subtitle of this course "A Modular Approach" refers to overall organization of the materials into MODULES which focus on particular situations or language topics and which allow a certain amount of choice as to what is taught and in what order. To highlight equally significant features of the course the subtitle could just as well have been "A Situational Approach" "A Taped-Input Approach" or "A Communicative Approach." Ten situational modules form the core of the course: Talking about who you are and where you are from. Talking about your background family studies and occupation and about your visit to China. Making purchases and changing money. Asking directions in a city or in a building. Taking buses taxis trains and planes including finding out schedule information buying tickets and making reservations. Arranging a business meeting nr a social get-together changing the time of an appointment and declining an invitation. Talking about families relationships between people cultural roles in traditional society and cultural trends in modern society.

Talking about daily life in Beijing street committees leisure activities traffic and transportation buying and rationing housing.
