Chinese Through Song

Hong Zhang, Zu-yan Chen, Robert Daly

Global Academic Publishing, Jan 1, 2001 - Foreign Language Study - 155 pages

Chinese Through Song represents an innovative approach to language acquisition: students develop their language proficiency and music appreciation through learning Chinese songs. They expand their vocabularies and improve their pronunciation, voice projection, and language expression—all while learning about Chinese culture in a way that is full of fun and stimulation.

The book contains twenty folk, art, and popular songs. It may be used in several ways: as the main textbook for an interdisciplinary, intermediate level course; as a supplement to regular Chinese language classes; as a resource for extracurricular activities; and as a general songbook.
