Go! Chinese now comes with a second edition offering new and improved content! As a fully integrated Chinese language program, it is specially designed for learners of Chinese as a foreign language. Comprising eight levels, Go! Chinese helps students develop all four language skills across the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational). It engages students in an exploration of Chinese culture and helps them gain an appreciation of Chinese cultural products, practices, and perspectives. Students will also have opportunities to compare different cultures, make connections with other discipline areas, and extend their learning experiences to their homes and communities. The program employs innovative teaching methodologies to enhance language learning, and to motivate students to learn Chinese. Go! Chinese is divided into two series: Beginner (Levels 1-4) and Intermediate (Levels 5-8). The Beginner Series equips students with vocabulary and common expressions for everyday interactions in Chinese, while the Intermediate Series places more emphasis on cultural comparison, self-expression, and opinion exchange. Each level offers 10 lessons and consists of a Textbook and a Workbook. The program’s companion site offers additional resources for teachers and students.
