Description

Refer to http://encounterschinese.com/ for an extensive description:Welcome to Encounters, a groundbreaking Chinese language program that features a dramatic series filmed entirely in China. The program’s highly communicative approach immerses learners in the Chinese language and culture through video episodes that directly correspond to units in the combination textbook-workbook. By combining a compelling story line with a wealth of educational materials, Encounters weaves a tapestry of Chinese language and culture rich in teaching and learning opportunities.Encounters follows a carefully structured and cumulative approach. Students progress from listening and speaking to the more difficult skills of reading and writing Chinese characters, building grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills along the way.The Encounters program includes:* Two Full-color Student Books for introductory Chinese study* Annotated Instructor’s Editions with answer keys and suggested class activities* Two Character Writing Workbooks linked directly to the Student Book* Ten hours of video materials, comprising dramatic episodes, cultural segments, and animations, all integrated with the Student Books* A total of 200 minutes of audio material, linked to the Student Books, for listening and speaking practiceTo my knowledge, all audio, video and text files are in this product.I’ve organised the material to the best of my ability; everything should be found easily even if the file names aren’t particularly descriptive. This has taken a huge amount of time and effort to collate and organise, and I would very much appreciate your thanks.
