A New China by Chih-P'ing Chou
China has experienced rapid changes in the past two decades. "A New China", written from the perspective of a foreign student who has just arrived in China, has been designed to provide up-to-date material on the changing face of China. The text compares contemporary China with its pre-reform era and emphasizes improvements in Chinese society. As in previous textbooks, "A New China" aims to provide a solid foundation in grammar and pronunciation rather than teach vocabulary geared toward specific usage. As a new feature, the textbook includes vocabulary words on the same page as the lesson text, making comprehension of new reading passages easier for students. "A New China" is appropriate for intermediate-level students and includes both traditional and simplified characters.
