Synopsis:

China has experienced rapid changes in the past two decades. "A New China", written from the perspective of a foreign student who has just arrived in China, has been designed to provide up-to-date material on the changing face of China. The text compares contemporary China with its pre-reform era and emphasizes improvements in Chinese society. As in previous textbooks, "A New China" aims to provide a solid foundation in grammar and pronunciation rather than teach vocabulary geared toward specific usage. As a new feature, the textbook includes vocabulary words on the same page as the lesson text, making comprehension of new reading passages easier for students. "A New China" is appropriate for intermediate-level students and includes both traditional and simplified characters.

About the Author: Chih-p'ing Chou is Professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University. He has contributed to earlier volumes in the series of Chinese-language textbooks produced by the Princeton University Chinese Linguistics Project for Princeton University Press. Joanne Chiang and Jianna Eagar are both Lecturers in East Asian Studies at Princeton University.
