Practical Chinese Exercises by Kylie Hsu is a series of three workbooks designed for use with the popular Practical Chinese Reader I. You can order them from the Student Book Mart at 1725 N. Eastern Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90032, U.S.A. Tel: 323- 262-5511. Each volume includes both traditional and simplified characters, English translation for the main dialogue/narrative of each lesson, and a vocabulary index. There are at least thirty different types of exercises with answer keys. The Chinese characters are in big print and in a style that is similar to handwriting. Additionally, you can download character practice sheets and flashcards for each lesson.
This book is an excellent example of how Dr. Hsu has optimally utilized her expertise in applied linguistics to language pedagogy. She has indeed successfully written a book that is student-centered with specific objectives to increase their learning outcome.
