Throughout the workbook, exercises are labeled according to the three modes of communication as explained in ACTFL's Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century .Authentic materials in each lesson-signs, forms, posters, menus, and more-build students' skills in interpreting the Chinese language in its native environment. Lively illustrations encourage students to answer questions directly in Chinese without translating from English. Open-ended exercises engage students in the subject matter and ask them to relate the Chinese language to their own lives. A cumulative review unit after every five lessons serves as a periodic progress check.
