The 2nd edition of Easy Steps to Chinese is specially designed for students from non-Chinese backgrounds who are learning Chinese as a second/foreign language. The series can be used by high school students and fifth and sixth graders in elementary school.

This series helps students build a solid foundation of Chinese in terms of characters, words, phrases and grammar through a natural and gradual integration of language, themes and culture. The simultaneous development of listening, speaking, reading and writing is given added emphasis. The ultimate goal is to help students develop communication skills in Chinese in real-life situations and express their views appropriately, precisely, logically and coherently.

The series consists of seven books in three phases:

Phase 1 (Books 1, 2, 3): the focus of this phase is to lay a solid foundation by learning pinyin, characters, vocabulary and grammar. The goal is to help students develop an interest in learning Chinese and skills in using simple Chinese for communication.

Stage 2 (Books 4 and 5): this stage focuses on learning more vocabulary and grammar so that students can use the language functionally when communicating with people in real-life situations.

Stage 3 (books 6 and 7): this stage focuses on providing students with authentic material and helping them develop communication skills. We assume that, in due course, students will be able to express their views in a precise, appropriate, logical and coherent way, both orally and in writing.
