Abundant in materials, this is an audio-visual product for Chinese language instruction, which can not only provide Chinese language teachers with video resources, but also serve as a self-teaching material for learners.
        The subjects and language materials cover virtually all the communicative functions, situations and topics that appear in commonly used Chinese textbooks at the present time.
       The difficulty of vocabulary, grammar items and linguistic functions was decided on the basis of learners’ actual levels of language proficiency.
        The situational dialogues were performed by professional actors and actresses and were shot on the spot in order to ensure the authenticity of the language, context and culture.
        All the sections of the video can be played individually to facilitate teachers’ operation in class; subtitles are made available in both traditional and simplified Chinese characters; and a printed booklet is provided, containing all the video transcripts.
       Transcripts, vocabulary lists and quiz questions are provided on the associated website http://cvc.myechinese.com for users to download.
The beginning level of this product includes 3 DVDs, with altogether 20 topics and 116 situational dialogues.
