Abstract:

Textbook Level 2 incorporates the innovative features of Level 1 including the 
separation of vocabulary from characters, a "basic to complex" introduction 
of grammatical structures, a comprehensive companion workbook with 
extensive practice in all language skills and functions, and a Teachers' 
Manual. 

Level 2 adds a "Narrative" Component to support the learner as they move 
from spoken Mandarin to formal written Chinese, and from the comprehension 
and production of short sentences to paragraphs and essays. Level 2 of this 
Course in Modern Mandarin bridges the gap that characterizes the transition 
between basic level Chinese courses and more advanced work. The Narrative 
Component includes:

-Model narratives that introduce formal written Chinese with explanations of 
the features of each narrative.

-Focus on narrative function including description, comparison, explanation, 
persuasion, and hypothesis.

-Reading and writing assignments that guide students to internalize model 
structures, to read for information, and to compose original essays for 
specific purposes. 

The course is also fully supported by an interactive companion website:
http://cw.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415472500/

Which contains a wealth of additional resources for both teachers and 
students.

-Teachers will find lesson plans in both English and Mandarin, providing a 
weekly schedule and overall syllabus for fall and spring, as well as activities 
for each lesson and answer keys.

-Students will be able to access downloadable character practice worksheets 
along with interactive pronunciation, vocabulary and character practice 
exercises. All the audio material necessary for the course is also available 
online and conveniently linked on screen to the relevant exercises for ease-
of-use.
