Huanying 2: An Invitation to Chinese (Chinese and English Edition)

This four-year, four-volume series is designed for use in secondary schools and developed in accordance with ACTFL National Content Standards. Students engage in interactive and integrated language practice through fun, meaningful activities and contemporary topics that appeal to secondary school students. Clean, colorful pages present lesson outlines, texts, dialogues, language and culture notes, tables, photos, and review checklists. Huanying continuously intertwines students' learning experience with the 5-Cs of foreign language learning: communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities.

The series' textbooks are organized around topics that are essential to everyday communication - for example, Volume 2 includes food, weather, travel, and shopping. Accurate language usage is introduced through simple yet systematic language notes. Nearly all workbook activities integrated two or more skills, which mirrors real-life use and helps improve students' overall language proficiency.

By starting with a communicative approach and combining it with carefully crafted activities that embed repetitive language practice in a meaningful context, the authors of Huanying have created a practical and engaging learning experience for secondary school students.
