Reviews

"Bai and his colleagues at the renowned Middlebury Chinese School have provided the Chinese teaching profession with a marvelous new pedagogical tool that bridges the gap between the precise structural linguistic descriptions of traditional grammar reference books and the pedagogical needs of communication based classroom teaching to English-speaking learners" – Mark Hansell, Carleton College, The Modern Language Journal

"['Chinese Grammar Made Easy'] provides teachers with well-designed, spiraled activities and explanations. I would recommend that all teachers of Chinese language own a copy of this indispensable tool... [it] is a research-based and user-friendly reference book that is completely independent of any available textbooks" – Mei-Jean Kuo Barth, The NECTFL Review
