A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department1s Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later joined *by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins, and John Boag (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Glbiau, and Major Bernard Muller-Thym (DLI); James R. Frith and John B. Ratlijff III (PSI); Kazuo Shìtama (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS), The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197^ in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute# Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance. council Gerard P; Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia 01Connor of the University of Texas， Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 197了， Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles B. Sheehan of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drev up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development. Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, vho vorked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communica-tion-tased classroom activities and vrote the teacher*s guides. Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By 1978 Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola had joined the staff. Led "by Ms, Barale, they have worked as a team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6. iii All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan 0. Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, Tsung-mi Li, and Yunhui C. Yang, assisted for part of the time by Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna Affholder, Mei-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a preliminary corpus of dialogues. Administrative assistance vas provided at various times by Vincent Bascìano, Lisa A. Bovden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Renee T. C. Liang, Thomas E* Madden, Susan C. Pola, and Kathleen Strype. The production of tape recordings vas directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script vas voiced by Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, Mr. Li, and Mb. Yang. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. BascianO', Ms. Ellis, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype. The graphics were produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, Chief of Audio-Visual. Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach was field-tested with the cooperation of Brovn University; the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center; the Foreign Service Institute; the Language Learning Center; the United States Air Force Academy; the University of Illinois; and the University of Virginia. Colonel Samuel L. Stapleton and Colonel Thomas G, Foster, Commemdants of the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, authorized the DLIFLC support necessary for preparation of this edition of the course materials. This support included coordination, graphic arts, editing, typing, proofreading, printing, and materials necessary to carry out these tasks. iv CONTENTS Preface..............................ill MODULE 1: ORIENTATION .

You axe communicating. That is, you are purposefully exchanging information. The word "games，" however, has the drawback of suggesting a lack of seriousness, except perhaps for seriousness in competition. Conmmnica-tion Games are not meant to "be entertaining breaks in the work of language learning， or rewards for that work. They are, instead, meant to te the most serious language-learning work of all. In fact, the only element of the games that is not serious is the occasional competition which may occur. Once the intent of the activity is understood, the word "games11 turns out to be handy and apt. As in other games, you will find that situations, rules, and goals have 'been made up for the Communication Games• Also, as in other games, the Communication Games succeed in imitating reality in various ways. While expecting Cozomunication Games to be serious work, you may find them entertaining and rewarding after all. If you do, it will probably *be because you are communicating. You are learning Chinese to te able to conmamicate in Chinese. Language has other functions. People often talk with each other merely to avoid an avkvard silence. They often talk right past each other, to let something out, or talk to themselves, to work something out. But the essential function of language is communication. You vant to understand and be understood. In this course the assumption is made that you learn *by doing. You learn to communicate by communicating* A lot of study time and even some class time must be spent on preparing to use the language, but no amount of preparation can take the place of trying to use the language. It is not enough, however, for the teacher to say f,Let1 b talk.11 For one thing, you need something to talk about. The su'bject must be fairly definite if you are to be a"ble to determine whether you have said vhat you wanted to say. Communication Games set up defined, limited situations to talk about. For another thing, as a speaker you need to know something the listener does not knov. Similarly, as a listener you should not have the information the speaker has. Otherwise, nothing that is said will really tell anybody anything, or have any real effect. You would lose the best evidence ORN Workbook that you have said vhat you meant to say or have understood what you were meant to understand. In Communication Games, therefore, the players are provided with different information so that they can exchange this information. To communicate, you need purpose. You need reasons for choosing to say or ask specific things. Your intention gives significance to what happens as a result of vhat you say. In Communication Games you will be given goals, such as the solution of a puzzle. Different ways to achieve the goals will occur to you as your knowledge of the situation changes and indeed as the situation changes. The Communication Games in this course make rather different demands on you than most classroom language-learning activities. You may find yourself groping for the right words and for the right way to put them together, or groping for the right meaning. But when you work these problems out for yourself, you are really learning the language. You are doing exactly what you will have to do vhen you speak Chinese on your own later onbut somewhat more slowly and consciously, as is generally the case vhen 'beginning something new. In other words, in Communication Games you are given opportunities to make mistakes. Without such opportunities, you have no chance to try out your understanding of hov the language works. The time for help from the teacher is after you have said something. After you put a sentence together, partly consciously and partly unconsciously, you are particularly sensitive to vhat it contains. You know vhat words you selected, what grammar you applied, what pronunciation you attempted, and what meaning you intended. A correction is likely to meet a recognized need, or at least to click neatly into place. Saying the sentence once or twice after the instructor says it vil}. pull things together for you. Often you will find that you do not need specific help but can pick up hints from the conversation—again, partly consciously and partly unconsciously. Obviously, you will ”play” these Communication Games in Chinese. You should be able to say everything in Chinese, even to ask what an expression means or how to say something. Whatever you say in English is likely to tip your hand, to give away just enough of vhat you are trying to say to invalidate your attempt to say it in Chinese. (Nonverbal shortcuts can also ruin a geune.) At times, a word or two in English "between you and the teacher may straighten out a problem, but these instances will "be few. Fight that occasional temptation to lapse into English, particularly vhen commenting on a game or on your performance. By far the best policy is to swear off English for the duration. ORN Workbook, Unit 1 UNIT 1 COMMUNICATION GAME INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Fact-Gathering • Situation: You meet three people and exchange names* Goal; To ask and find out the names of other people and to tell them your name. Humber of Players: Groups of four students or fewer. Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, vhich follow.) For the first round of the game, each male player assumes the xnanfs name which is written on his vork sheet. Female players assume vomen^s names. For a second round, each male player assumes the woman98 name written on his work sheet, and female players assume men's names* This arrangement will allov maximuza practice in pronouncing different names. Procediire: For these conversations, you should use the ”mingling” approach (as you would mingle at a party); that is, mix freely with the other players in your group to exchange information (no fixed order). Write down the names you learn in the empty "boxes on your work sheet, using the correct Hànyu Pxnyin romanizationt including tone marks. Example: You are Speaker 1 (Si). You are talking with your first partner (S2): SI: Nl shi shéi? S2: WS shi MS Mínglí. Ní xìng shénme? SI: W5 xìng Fāng. WS shi Fang BSolán* Additional Note; If you don't catch a name, ask again, as many times as necessary. You may also use the polite request ^[ng ni zài shuo yicia ,fPlease say it again” (from the first tape of the resource module on Classroom Expressions). 边ng ni is actually pronounced qíng ni. Practice Points; Everything in Unit 1. Also, the Pronunciation and Romanization Module through Tape 2.

You know all the names involved but have to guess which name "belongs to which person. Goal: To guess peoplefs surnames and given names. Number of Players; Groups of four students or fever. Materials: One deck of cards with surnames written on them and another deck with given names. (There are enough names and cards for one group of players to play several rounds.) Setting up: First, your teacher will write on the chalkboard a list of the surnames and given names to be used in the game. Then, one player is selected to be the first person questioned, and he picks a surname card and a given-name card. Procedure: For these conversations, you should use the 11 questioning *by turns" approach; that is, each player takes a turn at being questioned by all the other players. After the player to be questioned has selected his surname card and given-name card, the other players should then take turns trying to guess his surname and given name from the names on the chalkboard/ Use ma questions to guess his surname, unless there is only one possibility left, in vhich case the more appropriate choice is a simple statement of vhat his surname is. When the players have guessed the first person’s name, a surname card and a given-name card are given to another player, who is then questioned. Continue until each player has been questioned. When you are questioning a player, do not follow the order in vhich the names are listed on the chalkboard. Instead, skip around. If you follow a recognizable order, everybody will know which name you are trying to pronounce. The purpose of the game, which is to be understood when pronouncing Chinese names, would thus "be defeated. 10 ORN Workbook, Unit 2 Example: (This example is limited to surnames.) The surname, and Hù are listed on the chalktoard. Speaker 1 has taken the car^ from the deck of surname cards. S2: Ni xìng Hü ma? SI Wo "bú xìng Hu. S3 N5 xìng Hù ma? SI Wo "bú xìng Hü.

The idea of coinmunicatior; with a tape instead of a partner contradicts itself, of course. The tape has no need to know or to tell. It has none of the flexibility cí. a human speaker. But practice with these tapes is the closest you can come to comuni cat ion practice outside the1 classroom and outside real life. Some of the situatioris for the exercises are not like situations you will deal with in real lii'e. The exercise situations are not intended to be realistic in this sense tut are intended to r.ake the exercises more concrete-* .In the exercises, the amount of concentrated practice with constructions and vocabulary iter.s ^iurinr a few niinutes oí'； conversation might equal your exposure to thcst Ly.]y：*eGSio：iC over a period of days or :veeks during a trip tc China, lor thic rc*acor. you r.ijrht firid yourself, ；for_exanple^p.Iayine. the rcle oí* a hotel cr clcr^, cealir.f, with dozer*s„o.í' guestz % rather thar. n.oro. rcaiisticolly ac+-inr as a fuect.. . .Approach the corjr.ur.icaticr. tap<.*£ ac yc; a:.| reached the Ccrrr.unication Carnes: expect to be challenged; expect, tc work out hcv to say specific ；things to fit the.facts and requiren.ents of a situ&oicn; and expect to •learn fror. correct ícr. and ror.etit ic-r. after havi:；r n.aāc ycur tect stat at :ar* answer.

Use the information in the display to ansver the questions in this exercise. The speaker vill ask each question twice. Then he vill pause to allov you to ansver. (You may stop the tape to give yourself more time if you cannot come up with an ansver right away.) After this pause, the speaker vill give you a correct ansver and then pause again to allow you to repeat it. An example precedes the first item on the tape. Your ansver may be different from the speaker1s ansver but still perfectly correct. If you are not sure whether yours is right or not, make a note and consult your instructor later. EXERCISE 2 Display II， on the next page, shows the names and birthplaces of four people now living in Taipei. Use the display to answer the questions in this exercise.
