From the Publisher
Dear Friends and Customers,
It brings me great joy to celebrate the Year of the Dragon with you as we continue in our mission of Bringing Asia to the World. This year we are proud to offer Arabic language-learning materials in addition to our growing list of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean titles.
Marhaba! An Invitation to Arabic (p. 56) is an innovative, student-centered curriculum for teaching Arabic that has proven to be effective in a wide range of learning environments. To supplement Marhaba! or any other core curriculum is our Arabic graded reader series Small Wonders: Large Strides in Reading Arabic (p. 58). Presented in full color and centered on topics from the natural world such as bees, flowers, and the eye, it is designed to encourage interdisciplinary learning through Arabic.
This year, we have completed the final components of our highly praised secondary school series, Huanying: An Invitation to Chinese (p. 12). The Huanying Textbooks present lively, relevant, and standards-based language instruction, while the Student Workbooks offer a wealth of exercises for individuals, pairs, and groups. Rounded out by robust Teacher’s Books, this series allows educators to focus on their students and get them excited about learning Chinese.
For our youngest learners and their teachers and parents, we are thrilled to announce the release of our first children’s music collection, Little Dragon Tales (p. 22). In this CD, the Emmy-winning producer Dave Liang of The Shanghai Restoration Project has reinterpreted classic Chinese children’s songs with an energetic and contemporary sound. We are also excited to offer two new titles designed for K-3 classrooms: All-in-One Chinese Fun (p. 20) and Step by Step (p. 21). Both of these publications are designed to meet the needs of young students with flexible approaches that can be easily adapted so that every student can learn to read, sing, and play games in Chinese.
As we move into the digital age, we are delighted to announce the publication of eBook versions of our most recent literature anthologies: Digital Geishas and Talking Frogs (p. 53), Another Kind of Paradise (p. 60), and The Lotus Singers (p. 61). Finally, I want to thank you for your loyal support. You are among our most important resources— and the key to our success. I have always been grateful for your ideas and suggestions. This year, please share them with us by filling out the brief questionnaire on page 63. Let us know how we can continue to work together in “Bringing Asia to the World.”
Wishing you all the best in the New Year,
Jill Cheng
