Summary

Following the main principles and guidelines of the successful Chinese Link: Zhongwen Tiandi series, this intermediate level program systematically emphasizes and integrates the "5Cs" principles of the National Standards for Foreign Language Education-Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Connections, and Communities-within every lesson. As with the elementary level (Level 1) materials, this intermediate level (Level 2) program continues to provide a practical, learner-centered, and enjoyable language and culture learning experience for students studying Chinese, as well as an efficient and comprehensive teaching resource for instructors.
