Our Chinese programs are teaching standard Chinese pronunciation (mandarin) and simplified Chinese character writing on all levels. We use three different sets of Chinese textbooks & materials to meet the needs of students with different background in language and culture. 

Stanford textbook is designed for students from mandarin-peaking family background. It starts with recognizing and memorizing common characters, followed by teaching pinyin (Chinese phonics) . It emphasizes on listening, speaking and reading rather than writing. There are a lot of reading and vocabulary building activities.

Chinese textbook from Jinan university is widely used in Chinese school across US. It is targeted for both students with and without Chinese background. It starts from teaching pinyin, followed by recognizing Chinese characters. It emphasizes equally on listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The New Concept Textbook is a Chinese language textbook that has many unique characteristics specifically and locally tailored for students from youth to teenage years. This textbook has been tailored to students through New Concept’s research of the Chinese American lifestyle, culture, and educational environment. It meets the specific needs of Chinese American students and children whose families are not native to the Chinese language.
