The Huanying, Volume 2 Part 1 student workbook accompanies the Volume 2 textbook in the first semester, and contains a variety of engaging activities that integrate listening, speaking, reading, and wrinting. Communicative activities for pairs and small groups are provided as ready-to-use student worksheets with clear instructions, requiring minimal preparation time for teachers. Activities progress from structured(Such as vocabulary matching and"How do you say it in Chinese?") to open-ended(Such as pair or group inteviews), building accuracy and fluency in a cultural context and encouraging critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. In Volume 2, students can creat an invitation to a Moon Festival party, interview classmates about their cell phone usage, make travel suggestions to a pen pal who will visit from China, and more.
