Developing Advanced Proficiency in Chinese through Modern Issues serves as a solid foundational textbook for the intermediate and advanced level in two volumes, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of language and concepts. The 24 units include a wide range of topics, including popular culture, e-commerce, green energy, and telecommunications fraud, reflecting the dynamic nature of China’s evolving social landscape. Designed for two sequential advanced courses, the set spans one academic year.

While Volume 1 features podcast-style dialogues to bridge spoken and written language, Volume 2 focuses on formal news-style reports, preparing learners for advanced skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Each lesson includes audiovisual content, readings, vocabulary, and discussion questions, encouraging students to critically engage with key issues and apply their language skills in real-world contexts.

Key grammar and language points are explained with examples, and targeted exercises reinforce learning. Reading passages, discussions, and practical assignments foster real-world language use, including summarizing news-related articles or videos, expressing personal opinions, and translation.

Support materials for this book include video materials and authentic resources, supporting learners in reaching advanced proficiency. This volume is an invaluable resource for those striving to excel in Chinese while gaining a deep understanding of contemporary Chinese society.
