Features: The vocabulary of this textbook is primarily based on the Level A and Level B words from the HSK vocabulary outline. Most of the Level A words are included in the first volume, and considering that students with non-zero starting points might directly use the second volume, some vocabulary is repeated between the two volumes. The teacher's manual provides audio recordings and the correct answers to exercises. In the first volume's teacher's manual, the pronunciation exercises do not use Pinyin; they are entirely written in Chinese characters to maximize convenience for teachers. Each lesson in the first volume is divided into three parts: pronunciation, listening comprehension, and text, along with two vocabulary sections. The first vocabulary list corresponds to the text section of the current lesson, while the second vocabulary list, titled "Preview Next Lesson Vocabulary," contains words that appear in the "listening comprehension" section of the next lesson. This vocabulary can be explained in class or assigned for self-study, at the teacher's discretion. The passages in the text section are arranged from short to long based on students' learning progress, and the number of passages per lesson varies. To enrich the input content, the passages in different lessons may not necessarily be related, but the listening comprehension passages in each lesson are sufficient in quantity. If not all passages can be completed in class, they can be assigned as homework. The types of exercises in the first volume mainly include: listening and responding, choosing the correct question; listening to questions and choosing the correct answer; true or false judgment; selecting the correct answer; quick response; fill-in-the-blanks, etc. In the design of the exercises, we aim to avoid monotony in question types. Through practice with different question types and prompts from various angles, we hope to enhance students' understanding of Chinese grammar and communication characteristics while also training their quick response skills. The unit exercises attached to Lessons 6, 12, 18, and 24 in the first volume are essentially full tests, serving as both a summary of the learning content covered in this stage and a form of assessment.
