Authorized by Hanban, HSK Standard
Course is developed under the joint efforts of Beijing Language and
Culture University Press and Chinese Testing International (CTI). With HSK test
papers as its primary source, HSK
Standard Course is characterized by a humorous style, familiar
topics and a scientific course design. Matching the HSK test in all aspects,
from the content, form to the levels, it is a series of new-type course books
embodying the idea of “combining testing and teaching, and promoting learning
and teaching by testing”. It is suitable for the Confucius Institutes in
different countries as well as other Chinese teaching institutions and
self-taught learners.
The whole series is divided into six levels matching the HSK
test, with one volume for each of Levels 1-3 and two volumes for each of Levels
4-6, totaling nine volumes. With a textbook, a workbook and a teacher’s book in
each volume, there will be altogether 27 books.
This is Teacher’s Book 1, with altogether 15 lessons. Each lesson includes
a specification of the instructional contents and objectives, an elaboration of
teaching steps, and a suggestion about teaching aids as well. It provides
teachers with all-round guidance and effective support in regard to how to use
the textbook and workbook of the corresponding level.
