The main author, Claudia Ross, has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-native speakers of Chinese due to her personal experience of learning the language as a second language. What sets this series apart is its innovative pedagogical approach, which employs unique techniques to teach Chinese students who have English as their native language.
One of the key strengths of the series is its principled and pedagogically purposeful use of pinyin. While most textbooks combine pinyin and characters throughout, this course takes a different approach by gradually eliminating pinyin support. Studies have shown that if pinyin is presented to students without any guidance, they tend to rely on it as a crutch, hindering their ability to develop authentic reading skills of characters.
To address this issue, the course adopts a simple structure with just one textbook and one workbook for each level. Additionally, students have free access to the companion website, which provides additional resources and exercises to reinforce their learning.
By adopting this unique approach, the series aims to help students transition beyond the reliance on pinyin and develop the skills necessary to read and write Chinese characters with confidence and proficiency. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, this series is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to master the Chinese language.
