Gubo and Ding Yun from the first edition) and other international
students as they live in China, learning about Chinese culture and
society as they learn contemporary Mandarin. Emphasizing the basic

Ideal for: High school, college and adult learners with no prior
knowledge of Chinese. Compiled under the sponsorship of the China
National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (NOTCFL)
and in consultation with the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)
Guidelines, the New Practical Chinese Reader (NPCR) series is
designed to help native English speakers easily learn Chinese.
Based on the time-tested Practical Chinese Reader (PCR), the
entirely revised and updated NPCR combines the grammatical strengths
of the old PCR with contemporary material and more emphasis on the
learner's ability to use Chinese in everyday conversation.
NPCR consists of 70 lessons in six volumes, covering beginning to
intermediate levels, for three years of instruction. Features
include balanced training in speaking, pronunciation, grammar, and
vocabulary; gradual increases in difficulty and a cyclical approach
to learning with constant review of language structures, functions,
and cultural knowledge; an abundance of practice material suitable
for students to use inside and outside the classroom; and a new,
systematic approach to the teaching of Chinese characters. Students
first learn the fundamental rules of Chinese script and basic
strokes, and then progress to simple characters that form the
foundation for mastering multi-component words. Pictures and
culturally authentic materials such as advertisements,
announcements, newspapers, and literary excerpts are included. S
with P and English.
