-PREFACE
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan Ouyang
|
|
|
-Chao, Yunhui Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, and
|
|
|
-Tsung-mi Li, assisted for part of the time by Leslie L. H. Chang,
|
|
|
-Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna
|
|
|
-Affholder, Mel-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a
|
|
|
-preliminary corpus of dialogues.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Joseph
|
|
|
-Abraham, Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong,
|
|
|
-Judith J. Kieda, Renee T. C. Liang, Susan C. Pola, Peggy Ann Spitzer,
|
|
|
-and Kathleen Strype.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the
|
|
|
-Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was
|
|
|
-voiced by Mr. Chang, Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr.
|
|
|
-Khuo, and Mr. Li. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry,
|
|
|
-Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Mr. Madden, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.

-How to Study an Optional-Module Tape
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
