The 2nd edition of Easy Steps to Chinese is especially de-signed for non-Chinese background students, who are learning Chinese as a second/foreign language. The series can be used by secondary school students as well as fifth and sixth graders in primary schools.

This series will help students establish a solid foundation of Chinese in terms of characters, words, sentences and grammar through natural and gradual integration of language, themes and culture. The simultaneous development of listening, speak-ing, reading and writing is especially emphasized. The ultimate aim is to help students develop communication skills in Chinese in real-life situations and express their viewpoints appropriately, precisely, logically and coherently.

The series consists of seven books in three stages:
Stage 1 (Books 1, 2, 3): the focus of this stage is to establish a solid foundation through the learning of pinyin, characters, vocabulary and grammar. The aim is to help students foster an interest in learning Chinese and develop skills in using simple Chinese for communication.

Stage 2 (Books 4 and 5): the focus of this stage is to learn more vocabulary and grammar so that students are able to use the language functionally when communicating with people in real-life situations.

Stage 3 (Books 6 and 7): the focus of this stage is to provide students with authentic materials, and help them develop com-munication skills. It is believed that when the time comes, the students will be confident in expressing their viewpoints pre-cisely, appropriately, logically and coherently in both oral and written forms.

经典青少汉语教材《轻松学中文》，全新改版，重磅来袭！

《轻松学中文》（第二版）参考世界上各大主流考试的词汇和语法大纲、对语言和技能的要求以及考试形式，帮助学生应对各种公开考试并取得佳绩。内容设计在以下几个方面精心布局：

拼音在初级阶段伴随汉字一起出现，随着学生汉语水平的提高，拼音逐渐减少。语音学习和练习系统、科学。

汉字学习注重基本笔画和复合笔画、笔顺、偏旁部首及字形结构。相关的汉字书写练习帮助学生巩固所学的汉字。

生字每次只出现本课呈现的义项，新词语中尽量只出现一个生字，以求降低学生记忆词语的难度并帮助学生更好地理解生词。每课的生字、生词一般按其出现在课文中的先后顺序排列，但成组的、相关的词语会排列在一起，方便学生集中掌握。

词汇扩展是通过对汉字在不同词语中的意思的深刻理解而实现的。初级阶段出现的词语会在之后不同的情景、练习中多次复现、复练，以巩固学习效果。

语法以公式的形式出现，讲解简明直观，让学生通过模拟真实情景来理解和掌握。

主题根据学生不同的年龄段、兴趣爱好及语言水平进行遴选。主题广泛、有趣且贴近生活。

听力练习均匀分布在每一课中，采用本课的词语、跟课文相关的话题，并加入适量扩展词汇。

口语能力的培养采用多样、有趣的练习形式，力图让学生在真实的情景中培养、提高交际能力。

阅读材料题材丰富、原汁原味，内容涵盖日常生活、人文艺术、历史地理、新兴科技、环境保护等热门话题。

写作能力的培养贯穿整套教材。通过不同的文体，用精准、恰当的语言，进行有逻辑、有条理的表达，是写作训练的目标。
