Journeys 启程

What sets this program apart?

Journeys features a modern design with authentic content, engaging video, and powerful online tools.

NEW to this edition:

• Language in Action videos shot on location in present language and culture as students follow the adventures of a group of friends in Taipei
• Program design presents the vocabulary and grammar in smaller, more comprehensible chunks based on specific language tasks, designed to increase student retention
• Authentic content and video in a variety of formats, including public interest service ads, news features, mini documentaries, and vlogs that engage and are accessible to students
• Student learning support beyond the textbook—a Student Activities Manual with additional practice and a Character Writing Manual to practice handwriting
• A preliminary unit introduces students to Chinese characters and to pinyin to help students decode new vocabulary
