Unit Abstract

This unit teaches children to communicate orally in Chinese. They begin to use basic vocabulary to greet others, introduce themselves and others and say good-bye. They also express simple feelings and use appropriate titles with adults. Children learn that people in the USA and China can say the same things in both languages. Initially they demonstrate understanding of oral directions by responding physically or using one-word or memorized phrases. They continue to develop recognition of Chinese characters from the unit vocabulary.
