Authentic Chinese is a comprehensive series of textbooks for teaching Chinese to high school students in grades 9-12 in North America (primarily in the United States), designed to develop students' comprehensive language skills in Chinese. There are four levels in the set, matching the four grade levels, and each level comes with the textbook, workbook, task workbook, and character book, as well as compiled and organized electronic versions of supplementary exercises and resources for free download.


This is the first workbook in this set, which is based on research-approved principles and strategies for teaching Chinese in secondary schools and focuses on developing essential communication skills for real-life situations. The core language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are reinforced and integrated in this workbook. The workbook features a spiral cycle of vocabulary and grammatical structures that help learners master language functions through different types of exercises. In this workbook, each lesson is divided into two parts that correspond to the dialogues in the textbook. The exercises in each lesson include pinyin, Chinese characters, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and the exercises in each section are designed with graded difficulty levels to cater to the needs of different learners.


The book simulates situations through full-color illustrations that add visual interest and variety to the text, helping to capture learners' attention and stimulate their curiosity and engagement.
