Abstract:

"The main purpose of this unit is to demonstrate to students that the Chinese language actually shares common principles with the English language. This unit does not require either the teacher or students to have prior knowledge about the Chinese language. Any necessary background information for each exercise is included, often in the Appendices. Please note that this unit does not cover in depth spoken Chinese, only written Chinese." --http://spice.stanford.edu || Appropriate for Middle School levels || Table of Contents available at http://iis-db.stanford.edu/pubs/10035/Demystifying_the_Chinese_Language.pdf
