真棒Zhen Bang! Book 1 (附2CD)

《真棒》按照學時設計，針對外籍學習者，依循序漸進的學習進度規劃了Foundation Lessons和Unit Lessons。

Foundation Lessons:
1. 以圖輔文，敘說中華山河文化的「地理/歷史」(Geography/ History)
2. 加強發音基礎，融入韻文、歌謠、繞口令等，說得一口漂亮中文的「發音」(Pronunciation)
3. 增加課室間中文使用機會的「課堂用語」(Classroom Expressions)
4. 由形到義，大量舉例加強字形和字義連結，教你如何寫的「漢字」(Chinese Characters)
5. 學語言一定要有的「中文名字」(Chinese Names)

Organization of Foundation Lessons:
(1) Geography/ History
Taiwanese and Chinese geography, topography, and cultural characteristics are introduced. A wide array of pictures is used to accompany the text so that learners may see what is being described.
(2) Pronunciation
A detailed introduction of Chinese pronunciation combined with oral and listening exercises are available to help learners learn pronunciation. Tongue twisters, songs, and rhymes are incorporated to make learning pronunciation interesting.
(3) Classroom Expressions
A simulated Q&A session between the teacher and students is provided so that learners can submerge themselves in an all-Chinese environment.
(4) Chinese Characters
These introductions to the evolution of Chinese characters, radicals, and the principles for Traditional and Simplified text are given systematically for learners to better understand how Chinese characters are formed and the meanings behind them. This understanding will also aid learners in preparing to write Chinese later on.

Unit Lessons:

Organization of Unit Lessons:
(1) Vocabulary
Pictures are helpful to committing things to memory. Pictures of vocabulary items are presented in a situational setting so learners can learn new words through grouping.
(2) Practical Sentences
Important sentence patterns are highlighted so that learners can study important sentence structures more easily.
(3) Language Patterns
Grammar is introduced systematically and through sentence patterns. Simple explanations are followed by example sentences, with summaries provided in Language Notes. The Comparison section highlights the differences between Chinese and English.
(4) Dialogue
All dialogues have been filmed and made into short video clips for learners to watch and role play to online.
(5) Culture Window
Cultural knowledge to do with each lesson’s theme is introduced. Culture Window helps learners learn more than just the language itself.
(6) Language Practice
Exercises for new sentence patterns include oral practice, writing exercises, and drilling. Comprehension exercises are also included.
(7) Communication
Communication exercises focus mainly on situational errands. Learners may attempt these exercises by following the step-by-step suggestions provided, or coming up with their own dialogues. Use of realia is incorporated into these exercises so that learners may use what they know in looking for answers and solving problems.
(8) Chinese Characters
In each unit, a Chinese character’s origins, evolution, and stroke order are explained. An extended practice component consisting of relative words is also given to help learners to build on the number of characters they know, followed by an exercise that incorporates pictures to help learners hone their character recognition skill.
