Chinese Odyssey
This multimedia language course focuses on
all four skills with a range of materials and
activities designed to suit different learning
styles, so students can learn at their own
pace. The six levels offer a complete course in
achieving fluency in the language, with written
Chinese progressively
introduced and at a
slower pace than the
spoken language. Levels
1 & 2 focus primarily
on pronunciation and
communication, while
levels 3 & 4 promote
a more grammarbased focus. By levels 5 & 6 students are able
to participate in high-level discussions, whilst
learning to express themselves in writing. The
CD-ROM contains all the elements found in the
textbook and workbook.

New Approaches to Learning Chinese
Series
Intensive Spoken Chinese and The Most Common
Chinese Radicals form the initial oral and written
training in this series. The speaking component
teaches students rapid communicative skills
and 1,000 common words through the use of
pinyin romanisation, whilst the radical workbook
introduces 100 Chinese radicals and basic
character structures, providing the character
base lacking in the speaking course. Once
completed, students progress to Rapid Literacy
in Chinese, designed to enlarge the vocabulary
of students who have already learnt pinyin
and the basic structure of characters. Although
designed as an integrated series complementing
each other for successful language acquisition,
each component can also be used as a standalone text.

J Reading into a New China
This is an updated and expanded edition
of the popular, out-of-print A New Text for
a Modern China. There are new lessons on
contemporary issues
such as the Internet,
the environment,
employment, and
women’s status in
China, while extending
and updating topics
from previous editions
such as population,
housing, family,
education, and economic development. The
course allows intermediate to advanced students
to develop integrated language skills such
as speaking, reading, and writing, along with
higher-level critical thinking skills. Each volume is
a combination textbook and workbook. Volume
two will be available early 2010.

Spoken Chinese
This is a three-level conversational course with
two volumes per level. The structure is the same
throughout. Units start with a dialogue, followed
by a series of exercises that give the meanings
of words and sentences. Communicative tasks
then use the expressions for fluency practice.
At elementary levels, the dialogues are written
in simplified characters and pinyin. From
intermediate on, they are in simplified characters
only. An accompanying mp3 CD contains the
dialogues and listening exercises for each book.

Success with Chinese:
A Communicative Approach
Most English speakers
learn to converse in
Chinese faster than they
learn to read and write,
and this course takes
that into account. It has
separate components
for listening/speaking
and reading/writing,
so that learners’
conversation skills are not slowed down by the
pace of their character acquisition. The course
teaches students the language they will need
in everyday situations right from the start – the
listening and speaking course covers situations
such as ordering at a restaurant, making phone
calls and dealing with hotel staff, while the
reading and writing book covers restaurant
menus, signs, forms, money and much more.

This is followed by lists of vocabulary, relevant
expressions and idioms, language and cultural
tips, and short exercises. An accompanying audio

Urban Chinese:
Mandarin in 21st Century China
36.95
The author of this book, a young foreign student
in China, devised his own learning technique
centred around word association techniques
based on his native English language and using
Chinese logic. It is divided into five sections:
Pinyin and Tones, Radicals, Category Usage
Dictionary, Idioms and Slang.
Specially prepared for HSK participants, this book
can also be used as a reference for learners of
Chinese. Entries are arranged in alphabetical
order and a series of numbers accompanying
each entry indicate grades A, B, C or D. Non-word
structures and idioms are included in an appendix.
HSK Cihui Tupo: HSK Vocabulary
These four volumes classify 8,822 words which
are all explained with detailed notes. This enables
students to grasp the rules of HSK vocabulary
through systematic study, memorisation and
comprehension. Three principles have been
implemented throughout the books – making
the grammatical characteristics of the words
stand out; putting emphasis on key words and
difficult words to assist students to study more
effectively; and providing practice through drills
to strengthen memorisation.

level, any student sitting the HSK exam will
benefit from this handy resource. The text is in
simplified characters and answers are included.
Very Good: Spoken Chinese for Beginners
Similar in structure to other conversational
courses, lessons are based on the opening
dialogues. Paragraphs appear in simplified
characters, pinyin and English. Short exercises
analyse the language, and creative tasks make
practical use of recently learnt material. A unique
aspect of the course is the emphasis on the
storyline about four colourful characters in a
Chinese classroom. The course writers have
defined the individuality of each character
so well, that exercises often venture into role
play and writing original dialogues based on
the personalities and the situations they find
themselves in. Certainly a fresh turn from the
rote, repetitious drills of most other courses. A
supplementary booklet contains the Korean and
Japanese translations and vocabulary lists. An
audio CD contains the dialogues and word lists.

mastery. Reading and listening materials are
varied and very up-to-date, including letters,
postcards, cartoons, emails and SMS messages.

Grammar & USAGE
Essential Loanwords in Bahasa
Indonesia
Like many languages, Indonesian has borrowed
many words from English, which in many cases
have come to have as much or greater currency
than the original Indonesian words. These guides
help students to understand these common
loanwords and appreciate the actual Indonesian
words and terms. Both guides are arranged
alphabetically by loanword and show the correct
Indonesian and English versions, whilst the
complete guide also includes sample sentences
to demonstrate usage and grammar and to
clarify similar meanings.

Esplora!
This is an innovative Italian course in three levels
spanning years 7 to 12. A special feature of this
course is that they tell a story. Esplora! 1 follows
the adventures of Chiara and Marco searching
all over Italy for Federico, an illusive boy who
Chiara has a crush on. Esplora! 2 is a thriller
involving Laura Bianco, the Australian student
on work experience in Florence who must solve
the mystery of a missing pre-Roman statue.
With these cartoon stories high school seniors
will be able to explore Italy and Italian in a very
entertaining fashion indeed: students practise
grammar through mobile phone games, upload
video clips and vocabulary lists to their iPods,
watch the drama unfold on the accompanying
DVD, visit the interactive website for extra audio
material, clip art, links, a blog, and in level 2,
Facebook! But there is also still plenty of the
old-style pen and paper work to be done, and
the teacher’s resource CD-ROMs will assist the
more traditional teachers to become tech-savvy
instructors.

Melina Marchetta’s first novel Terza Generazione
was extremely popular in secondary school
Italian classrooms and the author’s latest
book deals with similar issues and is similarly
accessible and appealing to teenager readers.
Francesca Spinelli, the main character, is having
a hard time in year 11, plus lots of problems on
the home front. She certainly needs saving, if not
exactly in the manner her old friends thought!
Intermediate to advanced students will have
fun building their lexicon and reviewing their
grammar while listening to 13 of popular singer
Laura Pausini’s best songs. Each tune is followed
by a series of photocopiable comprehension,
grammar and vocabulary exercises that
encourage discussion of the cultural context of
language. Answers appear at the back, making
it suitable for both classrooms and self-study.
Includes a compilation audio CD of the songs.

An Introduction to Modern Japanese
This is an intensive, one-year introductory course,
but is also suitable for those who wish to work
at a slower pace. Students who finish this course
will have a firm grasp of language structures,
and enough knowledge of the writing system
to tackle everyday written material with the
help of a dictionary. Particular attention is paid
to grammar points that often cause difficulty
for foreigners, and both spoken and written
forms are used from the outset. Book 1 contains
52 lessons, which are supplemented in Book
2 by vocabulary lists and exercises that ensure
the student has understood the grammar, and
give further practice in reading and recognising
characters.

an introduction to both European and South
American Spanish.

On Course Spanish
A classroom text for post-secondary beginners
or revisers. The course uses communicative
methods with lots of pair and group work to
encourage fluency. Yet there is a healthy focus
on traditional grammar too. The ten units include
topics such as daily life, work, weekends and
leisure and speaking about self, and always refer
to learners’ own interests to keep motivation
up. The instructions and cultural notes in the
first units are in both English and Spanish, but
change to Spanish alone as language skills
are developed. The book itself is lively with
enough colour photos and illustrations among
the clearly-spaced text to maintain interest.
Materials from a number of Spanish-speaking
countries showcase the variety that is present
in the same language. The audio CDs contain
all the dialogues and listening exercises and
are accompanied by a booklet containing a full
transcript and answers to the exercises.

Spanish by Association (Link Word) 16.94
Written by the internationally-respected
expert on memory improvement – Dr Michael
Gruneberg – this book works with association
and memory by providing easy-to-remember
word-pictures to help recall words in Spanish.
Unlike other vocabulary guides that require the
rote memorisation of hundreds of words, this
book starts from the premise that using the
etymological connections between Spanish
and English words—their common derivations
from Latin, Greek and other languages—is the
most effective way to acquire and remember
vocabulary. This approach is suitable for
beginners as well as for advanced students.
Teachers of the language will also find much
material that can be used to help motivate
their students to acquire, and retain, Spanish
vocabulary.

The narrator is a
young Afro-Cuban
girl who, when
her mother passes
away, must live
with her aunt and
cousins. Her life is
often miserable
as she endures
racial prejudice
and mistreatment
from those around
her. To keep her mother’s memory alive, and to
remember that she was once unconditionally
loved, she composes letters to her “Mami”,
confiding her personal suffering and emotions;
the novel is composed of these letters. While
the narrator is only 10 years old at the start of the
story, the thematic elements and non-explicit
descriptions of sexual encounters make this story
better suited to an older audience. This novel
was attacked in some quarters for exposing the
issue of racism within contemporary Cuban
society, but it went on to win major awards.

J Listening in the Language Classroom
(Field)
59.95
This book challenges the orthodox approach
to the teaching of second language listening,
which is based upon the asking and answering
of comprehension questions. The central
argument is that a preoccupation with
‘comprehension’ has led teachers to focus upon
the product of listening, that is, answers to
questions, ignoring the listening process itself.
The author provides an informed account of
the psychological processes which make up the
skill of listening, and analyses the characteristics
of the speech signal from which listeners
have to construct a message. Drawing upon
this information, the book proposes a radical
alternative to the comprehension approach
and provides for intensive small-scale practice
in aspects of listening that are perceptually or
cognitively demanding for the learner.
Personalising Language Learning

activities designed to draw on the personal

and applications of second language reading
theories on instructional practices
