Preface

Zhongwen (Mandarin Chinese Language) course materials of trial edition werewritten for overseas Chinese and their children in 1996 by College of Chinese

Language and Culture, Jinan University, under the commission of Overseas Chinese

Affairs Office of the State Council of Peoples Republic of China. The entire coursematerials consist of 48 books, including 12 text books, 24 exercise books (book A and

book B), and 12 teacher s reference books. Publication started in June, 1997 andcompleted in November, 1999 with more than 5.6 million copies distributed up to this

day. However, supply was not able to keep up with demand. Between 2000 and 2003,

entrusted by Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of Peoples Republicof China, we developed teachers Zhongwen VCD and online edition Chinese Online(see www.chinaqw.com or http//hwy.jnu.edu.cn ), and arranged a traditional Chinese

character edition. All these products have gained a wide popularity among Chinese

language teachers, students and their parents abroad.This revision of Zhongwen materials was authorized by Overseas Chinese Affairs

Office of the State Council of P. R. China to College of Chinese Language and Culture

and Education Institute of Chinese Language and Culture, Jinan University. This

revised edition reflects actual needs and characteristics of overseas Chinese language

education and takes in constructive advice from many sides and research findings on

language teaching and textbook studies. The new edition of Zhongwen is now acollection of 52 books, with additional four books-one Study Pinyin textbook, twoStudy Pinyin exercise books and one Study Pinyin teacher s reference book-to theoriginal 48 books.

The instructional goal of Zhongwen is to enable students to acquire basiclistening, speaking, reading and writing capabilities of Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese)

through a process of learning and training, to expose students to Chinese culture and

lay a solid ground for their further study of Chinese language and culture.

The revision was carried out under the guidelines of Standard of ChineseLanguage Level and General Outline of Chinese Grammar (1996) issued by

23

2

Department of Testing Affairs of China National Office for Teaching Chinese as a

Foreign Language(NOCFL), General Outline of Chinese Language Level of Glossariesand Characters(2001) issued by China National Committee for Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK), and List of Frequently Used Characters in Modern Chinese (1988) issuedjointly by State Language Commission and Ministry of Education of China. Based on all

above, an effort has been made at enhancing learning experience and development with

a careful choice of characters, words, sentences, and texts. The homework exercise has

been modified and arranged in order of increasing difficulties and advancement. These

improvements are expected to be of enormous benefits to both teachers and students

alike, in improving their Chinese language skills, raising their learning motivation,

stimulating their active thinking and increasing their overall proficiency in the use of

Chinese language. Meanwhile, extensive research was made in the existing Chinese

textbooks that are used overseas which provided much helpful experience to the

revision. The revised edition closely integrates instruction and practice, learning and

application. Creative innovations have been incorporated in the course content, general

arrangements, page design, question format and instructional concepts.

The following is a summary of major changes including reorganization, deletion and

addition of new materials in the revised edition:

1. In light of the shorter term or semester in overseas Chinese schools, the number

of lessons in each book has been reduced from 14 to 12, with a moderate simplification

of the texts. The 12 lessons are now subdivided into four units of three lessons each,

which are followed by a comprehensive exercise. In addition, each book includes a

general exercise. Every text book is attached an alphabetic vocabulary which contains

all the new words in the texts of the book, including singlesyllables and multisyllables.Each new word is marked with serial number of the text where it belongs.

2. Lessons one to six of Book 1 are designed for character learning. The main texts

are followed by a list of new Chinese characters without words or sentences. Beginning

with Lesson seven in Book 1, the main texts are followed by a list of disyllabic and

multisyllabic words and sentences, in contrast to the monosyllabic words found in theprevious lessons. Some of the main texts are also followed by a list of proper names,

such as, names of people, places and countries.

3. For teaching convenience, a Study Pinyin course book and two Study Pinyinexercise books are included in the revised edition. Therefore, instructional materials for

2 4

2

pinyin are removed from the 12 textbooks. However, exercises on pinyin are included from

exercise book 5 to above.

4. Pinyin annotations are provided to all the main texts and reading materials in

textbooks one to four. Beginning with Book Five, the application is limited to only new

characters. In general, the annotations are applied character by character, except in the list

of words or expressions and proper names following the main texts, where they are applied

word by word. The characters are normally annotated in their original tone, with the

exception of the neutral tones. Characters generally of light pronunciation, are annotated

with tones when they are stressed.

The characters (yi) and (bu) are annotated in their actual tonesaccording to the context.

5. In retroflex finals, where the retroflex is unnecessary in written Chinese, the

character or word is not presented in its retroflexed form; and where the retroflex is

necessary, the character(er) is attached, e.g.,,.

6. English translation or explanation is provided for titles of texts and exercises. Proper

names in teachers reference books are also attached with their English equivalents.7. New strokes or radicals are listed with new characters, with the exception of lessons

for character learning where only strokes are listed, but not radicals. In the classroom

exercise of Learn to write in textbooks one to four, new radicals, components and

characters are presented with their stroke order, and writing directions are noted in red

arrows. In textbooks five and above, new characters in the classroom exercises are not

presented with their stroke order. The stroke order is based on Stroke Order Regulation ofFrequently Used Characters in Modern Chinese, which was issued by the State LanguageCommission and the General Administration of Press and Publication of P. R. C. in 1997.

8. For the convenience of teaching and selfinstruction, lists of new characters, wordsand some proper names are added to the reading comprehensions. Their references and

resources are also added to the teachers reference books accordingly.9. To meet the need of certain students for traditional Chinese characters, the main

text book is attached with a comparative list of new characters in simplified and traditional

forms arranged in alphabetical order, and each new word is marked with serial number of

the text where it belongs. In Book 2 and above, the alphabetical vocabulary list is

accumulative with new words of the previous text books. The traditional characters are

based on the 1986 version of General List of Traditional Chinese Characters issued by

25

the State Language Commission. Since variant characters listed in Appendix 1 to

General List of Traditional Chinese Characters are no longer used officially, they areno longer included as traditional characters or variant characters in this edition. The

traditional characters also supplement the revised teachers reference books accordingly.In addition, text books one to six are attached with character learning cards forconvenience.

10. Practice in communicative functions in Chinese is further enhanced in the

revised edition to improve the communication skills of the students.

We are greatly indebted to Chinese linguists, experts in Chinese language teaching,

overseas Chinese teachers, and researchers of Chinese language that have all generouslyprovided us very useful advice and suggestions in the revision of this course.

Finally, given the magnitude of this project and the time constraint, it is possible

that certain omissions or errors may be observed. However, we will be very open to any

suggestions and advice from experts, researchers, teachers, students and their parents

on further improvement.
