Grammar Learning Manual, a practical learning manual for students of Chinese language, is compiled in strict accordance with the “Appendix A (Normative Grammar Grading Outline)” (hereinafter referred to as “Grammar Grading Outline”) of Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education, which is jointly issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission. This book observes the “student-centered” education idea, and advocates the natural acquisition of grammar. Grammar Learning Manual is divided into the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels, respectively corresponding to the grammar points in the “Grammar Grading Outline”. In the book, the grammar points in the “Grammar Grading Outline” are split or merged, and each grammar point is explained in detail around several dimensions, such as its “basic meanings and usage”, “typical example sentences and dialogues”, “supplementary example sentences”, “structural features” and “tips”. Based on the teaching practice, this book strives to provide some reference and support for international Chinese grammar learning and teaching.
