This first one-of-its-kind Chinese/English bilingual textbook is written by Chinese American author Mr. Bill Li, a linguist, teacher and author who specializes in Chinese as a Foreign Language. With a focus on the specific needs of children from non-Chinese speaking families, Chinese For Young Beginners Book 1 contains 10 lessons, covering numbers, colors, daily greetings, my home, school, calendar, time, weather, family and friends. The features of the textbook are: activity-based, various exercises, mini dialogues expanding students vocabulary and conversational skills, quizzes for reading abilities, and 200+ new words/expressions.Designed for teachers and parents of children between five and ten years old, this textbook creates a context for a nurturing and interactive learning environment, where Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing skills are acquired through language usages in real life situations, and small group or one-on-one activities. It attempts to fill the gap between the increasing demand of learning Chinese at an early age and the lack of teaching materials with age appropriate contents that are relevant to American children's daily life, cultural environment and imagination.
