Elementary Mandarin Chinese Workbook - Cornelius C. Kubler
Preface
This workbook is designed to accompany the textbook Elementary Mandarin Chinese. Used together, along with the online audio files, these materials will help learners establish a strong foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing Mandarin Chinese.
In a college or university environment, it is recommended that these materials be taught at the rate of approximately one lesson per week. Each lesson is divided into two parts, so Part One could be taken up on the first class day each week and Part Two on the second day, with the third day being used for review, testing, and supplemental activities. Since it would take 24 weeks to go through the materials at this rate but most institutions schedule 25-35 weeks of instruction per academic year, this would still leave some time for other activities, or else allow for a somewhat slower rate of progress through the materials, if preferred. The exact schedule and rate of progress will need to be determined based on local conditions.
The material in this workbook is meant to be done by students as homework, to strengthen and consolidate their control of the material. Lessons 1 and 2 of the workbook contain special exercises on Pinyin and classroom expressions and also introduce 48 basic Chinese characters. Beginning with Lesson 3, each lesson of the workbook contains two parts, each part including two listening comprehension exercises, one translation exercise, one character practice sheet, and one reading and writing exercise. Since they are review lessons, lessons 13 and 24 of the textbook have no corresponding workbook materials.
I wish to acknowledge here the following, who have been particularly helpful in the preparation and publication of these materials: Yang Wang, who created the drafts of the listening comprehension exercises; Jerling G. Kubler, who prepared the character practice sheets; Eric Oey; and Nancy Goh.
