Editorial Review
In accordance with the salient features and regularities of the Chinese language, this book strives to adhere to the spirit of “foreign used by the Chinese, ancient by today’s”. Aiming at the two major difficulties of Chinese characters and tones, it adopts the methods 1) to further Chinese language learning with basic and solid combined knowledge and skills in speaking and writing; 2) to master Chinese sounds, tones, words, and sentences through rhythmic verses” to lay a solid foundation for the key skills of Chinese language.

The book is rich in supporting resources. Scanning the QR code of each lesson can download the recordings of this lesson (slow speed, normal speed and rhythmic recitation) and Chinese character writing sheet. There is also a “word card” software for students to read and test Chinese characters after class. At the same time, it also provides a variety of free supporting resources for teachers.

《大学精华汉语》针对英语为母语的大学生,采用全新的汉语教学方法，将彻底改变以往的对外汉语教学方式。汉语每个音节都有声调并使用表意文字，而学其文字对学其发音没有丝毫帮助，反之亦然。基于这一事实，本书将语音声调的学习和汉字认知书写的教学一分为二，分而学之。然后用三种交际方式（互动、陈述、诠释）综合训练学生的四项语言技能（听、说、读、写）。本书创新特点包括：

· 通过幽默的节奏语段学习和巩固汉语语音和声调。

· 首先学习那些由象形字发展而来并构成成千上万汉字的基本汉字。

· 起始阶段只要求认识和书写这些基本汉字，而不急于要求学生知道怎么念。

· 将常用字词语编成节奏语段,以供学生聆听和朗诵，并要求学生用汉字阅读和书写。

《大学精华汉语》前两册共有56课，涵盖汉语基础语法100多项，囊括800多个汉字及由其构成的词语。本书旨在让学生在大学两个学年里用不多于他们四分之一的学习时间打下坚实的汉语基础，使他们能满怀信心地、喜悦地继续较高阶段的汉语学习。
