Mary M-L "Traditional Chinese Tales." is a reader, workbook and CD-ROM for students at the low-intermediate level of Chinese. It is designed as stand-alone material, and it focuses on strengthening reading, writing (sentence and paragraph level), speaking and listening skills. The CD-ROM has the text of the stories, sentence-by-sentence and paragraph-by-paragraph audio accompaniment to the text, pop-up vocabulary, and listening comprehension questions. It also includes text-based grammar cues for on-line reading assistance and links reading comprehension questions to the text. The reader and workbook are in traditional and simplified characters. The CD-ROM is only available in traditional characters, and, as I said, it is only available for Macs. It is published by Far Eastern Publications: FAR EASTERN PUBLICATIONS 434 Temple Street P.O.
