      This publication is to be used primarily in support of instructing
      military personnel as part of the Defense Language Program
      (resident and nonresident). Inquiries concerning the use of

      Topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores,
      etc., which may be considered as controversial from some points of
      view, are sometimes included in the language instruction for
      DLIFLC students since military personnel may find themselves in
      positions where a clear understanding of conversations or written
      materials of this nature will be essential to their mission. The
      presence of controversial statements-whether real or apparent-in
      DLIFLC materials should not be construed as representing the
      opinions of the writers, the DLIFLC, or the Department of Defense.
    </para>
    <para>
      Actual brand names and businesses are sometimes cited in DLIFLC
      instructional materials to provide instruction in pronunciations
      and meanings. The selection of such proprietary terms and names is
      based solely on their value for instruction in the language. It
      does not constitute endorsement of any product or commercial
      enterprise, nor is it intended to invite a comparison with other
      brand names and businesses not mentioned.

    <para>
      In DLIFLC publications, the words he, him, and/or his denote both
      masculine and feminine genders. This statement does not apply to

      Standard. Chinese: A Modular Approach originated in an interagency
      conference held at the Foreign Service Institute in August 1973 to
      address the need generally felt in the U.S. Government language
      training community for improving and updating Chinese materials to
      reflect current usage in Beijing and Taipei.
    </para>
    <para>
      The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible
      enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a wide
      range of government agencies and academic institutions.
    </para>
    <para>
      A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of
      the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the
      Defense Language Institute, the State Department's 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, John Boag, and Hugh Clayton
      (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy
      Gibian, Major Bernard Muller-Thym, and Colonel Roland W. Flemming
      (DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSI); Kazuo Shitama
      (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant
      Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS).
    </para>
    <para>
      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.
    </para>
    <para>
      Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning
      council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the
      Defense Language Institute, Patricia O'Connor of the University of
      Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and
      James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977, Lucille A.
      Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W.
      Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan
      of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning
      council and contributed material to the project. The planning
      council drew up the original overall design for the materials and
      met regularly to review their development.
    </para>
    <para>
      Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T.
      Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked 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 communication-based
      classroom activities and wrote the teacher's guides. Ms. Barale
      and Ms. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. From
      1978 until the project's completion, writers for the course were
      Ms. Barale and Thomas E. Madden. They revised the field-test
      editions of the first six core modules and accompanying optional
      modules, and produced the materials subsequent to Module 6.

        How to Study an Optional-Module Tape
      </para>
      <para>
        The format of the optional modules is quite different from the
        format of the core modules, although both focus on what you need
        to know to deal with particular practical situations.
      </para>
      <para>
        Each tape of an optional module is roughly equivalent to the
        five different tapes of a core-module unit, in the sense, at
        least, that it is intended as a self-contained presentation of a
        set of words and structures. Actually, however, an
        optional-module tape is closer to a combination of the C-l and
        P-1 tapes of a core-module unit with almost all explanations
        left in the notes. Moreover, an optional-module tape introduces
        considerably more vocabulary than a core-module unit.
      </para>
      <para>
        Each tape is divided into several parts. Each part introduces
        words and sentences, some of them for comprehension only, next
        reviews all production items, and then reviews comprehension in
        extended dialogues.
      </para>
      <para>
        You may have found that you could work through the C-l and P-1
        tapes of a core-module unit a single time each, perhaps going
        back over a few sections once or twice. You are almost sure to
        find, however, that you need to work through an optional-module
        tape more than once, perhaps frequently backing up and
        frequently stopping to read the Notes.
      </para>
      <para>
        When a new word or sentence is introduced, there is a‘pause on
        the tape before you hear the Chinese. On your first time through
        the tape, you may use this pause to glance at the word or
        sentence in the Reference List. On your next time through the
        tape, you may use it to try to say the Chinese, using the
        Chinese after the pause as a confirmation.
      </para>
      <para>
        In the dialogues at the end of each part, there are very short
        pauses between sentences. These should be just long enough for
        you to stop and start the tape without missing anything. Stop
        the tape whenever you want to think over the previous sentence
        or try to translate it.
