Inductive Grammar and Systematic Vocabulary

Language in use

In each unit, the Language in Use grammar sections typically follow an inductive or “discovery” approach, drawing on learners’ existing knowledge. Students focus on the forms of grammar through the presentation of simple, everyday examples. These exercises guide students to make connections between grammatical forms, functions and the meanings they signal. Grammatical patterns are then recycled throughout the rest of the units to maximise reinforcement and repetition.

Grammar reference

Additional support for each unit consolidates basic Chinese grammar. Grammar Reference gives understandable but detailed references to key points.
