New Contemporary Chinese--Character Writing Workbook 1A

Contemporary Chinese aims to develop the learners' comprehensive abilities of listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, and translating of the language, as well as their communicative competence. The difficulty level of the series is in line with the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education (GF0025-2021). This series is adapted from Contemporary Chinese, which has been well received by teachers and students worldwide since its publication. To better meet users' needs and keep up with the development trends in both the language and the era, the authors have recompiled the series so that its content could be enriched to serve more practical purposes. As a reflection of both modern life and features of the time, New Contemporary Chinese not only considers the comparison between Chinese and foreign cultures, but also stresses the shared values among cultures in the world. By integrating teachings of syllables, characters, vocabulary and grammar, the series not only helps lay a sound foundation for the students' phonetic and character skills, but also enables them to communicate in Chinese. It makes Chinese teaching and learning more practical and a continuing process, which offers more vitality, scientific practice and methods, and guidelines for international Chinese language education for the new era.
