The textbook “Chinese” (Trial Version) was commissioned by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China to be compiled by the Chinese Language Institute of Jinan University for Chinese-American elementary school students studying Chinese in weekend Chinese schools in Europe and America in 1996. The complete set of textbooks consists of 48 volumes, including 12 main textbooks for “Chinese,” 24 exercise workbooks (divided into A and B volumes), and 12 teacher’s teaching reference books. In 1997, a revised version of the “Chinese” textbook set was released, totaling 52 volumes. In addition to the original 48 volumes, it included an additional “Learning Pinyin” textbook (1 volume), “Learning Pinyin Workbook” (2 volumes), and “Learning Pinyin Teaching Reference” (1 volume).

The teaching objective of this textbook is to enable students, through the study and practice of the complete set of “Chinese” textbooks, to acquire basic abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Mandarin Chinese, as well as to gain knowledge of Chinese culture. This aims to lay a solid foundation for further learning of the Chinese language and culture.

Starting from the ages, living environments, and psychological characteristics of the students, this textbook has been scientifically organized based on the “Chinese Language Proficiency Level Standards and Grammar Level Outline” (1996) compiled by the Chinese National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, the “Chinese Proficiency Vocabulary and Character Level Outline” (2001) developed by the Chinese National Language Committee, and the “List of Commonly Used Modern Chinese Characters” (1988) published by the Chinese National Language Committee and Ministry of Education. The content, from characters and words to sentences and passages, is gradually arranged to progress from simple to complex, with a step-by-step approach to home practice. The intention is to facilitate mutual growth of teaching and learning, encourage practical application of acquired knowledge, cultivate students’ interest in learning, stimulate active thinking, and enhance their ability to use the Chinese language. Additionally, this textbook draws from valuable experiences of existing Chinese language teaching materials overseas, striving to achieve a harmonious integration of teaching and practice, learning and application, while innovating in content, format, visual arrangement, question design, and pedagogical philosophy.

The Chinese Language School of Saskatoon possess a group of experienced teachers who are dedicated to education, love the teaching profession, and are committed to promoting Chinese culture. They help students better grasp and excel in the Chinese language, guiding them towards a brighter future.
