The book's lessons and exercises build upon the cultural knowledge of these \"advanced beginners\" in order to facilitate full language acquisition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a culture-based primer, this text takes an unusual and innovative approach, with lessons organized around readings on Chinese history, culture, geography, literature, folktales and mythology, customs, and cuisine. The focus, therefore, is not on sentence grammar, but rather on reading strategies and on \"discourse grammar,\" a new, more authentic approach to the study of languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4738394\"\u003eDuanduan Li\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12349617\"\u003eIrene Liu\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12349618\"\u003eLening Liu\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.95h x 8.45w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231125550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231125550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FOR\"\u003eForeign Language Study\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FOR003000\"\u003eChinese\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN020000\"\u003eStudy \u0026amp; Teaching\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-STU\"\u003eStudy Aids\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-STU000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuanduan Li is a lecturer of Chinese, and currently director of the Chinese Language Program at Columbia University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIrene Liu was director of the Chinese Language Program at Columbia University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLening Liu is a senior lecturer of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHailong Wang is a lecturer of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZhirong Wang is a lecturer of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYanping Xie, a speech and language pathologist, was a lecturer of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University.","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45851317371055,"sku":"9780231125550","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_217aced4-bbc9-49bd-973f-55d909bc3425.jpg?v=1759257104","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/es\/products\/a-primer-for-advanced-beginners-of-chinese-9780231125550","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
