This three-course sequence(111-1, 2, 3) presents the material of the first year of the beginning Chinese curriculum in an intensive format over nine weeks, introducing the Pinyin system, grammar, 500-600 writing characters (both traditional and simplified Chinese characters), and 1,500-1,600 compound words of standard modern Mandarin Chinese. This course provides a practical learner-centered curriculum and aims to help true beginners develop their communicative competence in four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while gaining competence in Chinese culture, making connections to their daily life, and building links among communities. This first course in a three-course sequence introduces the standard (Mandarin) Chinese phonetics system (Pinyin), Chinese writing system (both traditional and simplified Chinese characters), basic grammar, and simple sentence structures. Speaking, listening, character, grammar, and communicative exercises are included throughout the course.
