Reviews for Chinese Grammar Made Easy: a Practical and Effective Guide for Teachers

Bai and his colleagues at the renowned Middlebury Chinese School have provided the Chinese teaching profession with a marvelous new pedagogical tool that bridges the gap between the precise structural linguistic descriptions of traditional grammar reference books and the pedagogical needs of communication based classroom teaching to English-speaking learners. -Mark Hansell, Carleton College, The Modern Language Journal -- Mark Hansell * The Modern Language Journal * [Chinese Grammar Made Easy] provides teachers with well-designed, spiraled activities and explanations. I would recommend that all teachers of Chinese language own a copy of this indispensable tool. . . . [it] is a research-based and user-friendly reference book that is completely independent of any available textbooks. -Mei-Jean Kuo Barth, The NECTFL Review -- Mei-Jean Kuo Barth * The NECTFL Review *
