For the second year, we've been using "The Intermediate Reader of Modern Chinese," but may be switching to "Integrated Chinese" next year. Trina Trina Marmarelli Foreign Language Instructional Technologist Reed College 503/517-5531 --(12) from [log in to unmask] The Language Center at the City College of San Francisco used Integrated Chinese in the past but switched to a textbook from a major publisher which is more generous with its audio materials (i.e. free): If you're thinking of switching/starting up you might want to look into: Chinese Link, Level 1 and Level 2 published by Pearson Prentice Hall. There is also a website with some nice features like flashcards, audio for the text (the LC has the workbook audio on its online language lab): Here's a link to Level 1: http://wps.prenhall.com/wl_wu_chineselink_1/0,11135,2566509-,00.html There is also a DVD that goes with the text. Interested parties can contact me offline and I could refer them to an instructor who has been using this text for the past year 1/2 for some feedback. . Leslie A.
