Language teaching serves as the foundation, while cultural introduction and games act as the supporting wings, aiming to help students learn Chinese and understand China through engaging activities. The textbook is accompanied by a Teacher Book, CDs, and CD-ROMs, providing multiple teaching tools. The arrangement of language points and skill training follows the acquisition patterns of Chinese as a second language.
