The lessons in this booklet are developed for the Chinese Bilingual Pilot Program, San Francisco Unified School District. The main objective is to teach Cantonese to non-Chinese speaking children so that they can use this new language in a meaningful way such as, carry on a simple conversation in that language. The ultimate goal in the oral segment is to have pupils demonstrate the progressive ability to carry on and understand a Chinese conversation with peers who are native Chinese speakers. The curriculum will also provide knowledge, insight, and an appreciation for the cultural similarities and differences between Chinese and English speaking peoples. The format of the curriculum has the "ripple-effect." It evolves from the students' basic personal needs to their home, school, and community environments. Therefore, by relating their new language to their own needs and experiences, Chinese becomes meaningful to them. Language is cumulative. This system provides a review factor which relates each unit introduced to previous units taught. The purpose of the reading and writing segment is to show the language's possibilities and the pupil's potential to fully attain Chinese as a second language. It is hoped that this will further their interest in future Chinese studies. (JM)
