With an emphasis on practicing a broad range of written and verbal communication skills and building cultural understanding, the Integrated Chinese Volume 3 Textbook is ideally suited for students who want a comprehensive grounding in the Chinese language. Coordinated practice in this course develops students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing and builds proficiency in using the Chinese language in a variety of real-life situations. Featuring a full-color, contemporary layout, this 4th edition includes new grammar exercises to consolidate newly learned structures, compare and contrast exercises to build cultural literacy, and a "Lesson Wrap-Up" section with context-based tasks that prepare students to communicate with native speakers. Throughout the series, Integrated Chinese incorporates the three modes of communication—interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational—and the "Five Cs" of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages: communication, culture, connections, comparisons, and communities.
