The "New Practical Chinese Reader" is a series of new textbooks specifically designed for English-speaking students who want to learn Chinese. This series consists of 70 lessons spread across six volumes and is suitable for beginners to intermediate students over a three-year program. The structure of these books follows the guidelines of the new HSK and was developed in consultation with the NOTCFL curriculum. The main goal is to help students improve their communication skills in Chinese through the study of language structure, usage, and culturally relevant knowledge, combined with training in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
