The New Silk Road “Chinese + Vocational Skills” is a series of Chinese
textbooks for specialized and vocational purposes that combine professional and
vocational technologies with Chinese as a second language. The textbooks are
developed with a view of meeting the basic communication needs of learners in
general Chinese environment, and their professional learning needs and
workplace demands as well.
This series adopts a Chinese teaching and textbook compilation model
combining special language skills and vocational skills training. Starting from
the basic phonetic knowledge learning and job cognition at the elementary
level, this series integrates “Chinese + Vocational Skills” into the working
scene dialogues, breaking down the job into various tasks, solving lexical cognition
problems by means of picture cognition, solving the problem of the mismatch
between learners’ mastery of Chinese vocabulary and professional skills by
means of displaying videos, stressing the practicality of skills, and focusing
on “learning by doing”.
The series includes the textbooks for six popular majors such as logistics
management, automotive service engineering technology, e-commerce,
mechatronics, computer networking, and hotel management, with each major
consisting of the textbooks at the elementary, intermediate and advanced
levels. Each volume contains 10 units, with each unit consisting of modules
such as “Phonics/Chinese Character, Texts, Communicative Phrases, Practical
Training, Summary”.
This volume is the Chinese + Computer Networking
Technology (Elementary).
