The New Practical Chinese Reader (NPCR) is a series of textbooks\npublished by the Beijing Language and Culture University Press (associated with\nthe Confucius Institute Programme) and is designed to help native English\nspeakers learn Chinese. It is compiled under the new NOTCFL syllabus in\naccordance with the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) Guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NPCR has six volumes containing 70 lessons, encompassing\nbeginner to intermediate levels for three years of instruction. Each volume\ncomes with a student’s workbook and an instructor’s manual together with audio\nand video materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main objective of the NPCR is to help students develop their ability to communicate in Chinese by teaching language structure, language function and related cultural knowledge.

Most of the lessons are composed of three main texts with grammatical explanations, speaking and writing exercises, and pronunciation drills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
