Chinestory: Learning Chinese through Pictures and Stories is a groundbreaking pedagogical innovation, designed for overseas Chinese learners and non-native Chinese speakers. Students will learn 2000 simplified Chinese characters with Chinese pinyin (pronunciation and tone) to achieve a 98% proficiency level, will master the skill to decode characters and construct phrases, and be on their way to read, speak and write like a native. Through the meticulously designed sequencing of Chinese characters based on etymological research; through historically and culturally rich stories; through the artfully designed images of the ancient Oracle bone script dated to 1500 B.C.; through interactive games; through iterative cycles of the Leaner-Centered Design process, the Chinesetory series delivers a brand new language learning experience that promises to be meaningful, long-lasting and fun! Chinestory is designed for learners of all ages. As long as you have an appetite for stories, a heart appreciative of beauty and art, or an inquisitive mind, then the book is right for you. Independent readers from 2nd grade and up should be able to read the English text without many difficulties. Learners in first grade and below should also be able to enjoy the storylines and the images, as well as to identify the symbols of the Chinese characters by having the stories read to them.

Autorenporträt
A former language teacher, a user experience research professional, Dr. Haiyan Fan brought the same principles and expertise of User Experience Design into the design of an innovative language curriculum - the Chinestory series. Her hope is to make learning Chinese a meaningful, long-lasting and fun experience for you! A native Chinese speaker, Haiyan now resides with her husband and two young children in Dallas. She lives inspired everyday by the beauties of Mother Nature, and the great minds and hearts the world offers to all of us. Haiyan came to the States in 1997 to pursue her Master's degree in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Later her research work at the Artificial Intelligence Lab at U of Arizona gave her a unique perspective on language learning, and promoted her continuous pursuit in the research domain of Human-Computer Interaction in her doctoral program at Texas A&M University. A former principle user experience researcher at China's largest telecomm company with extensive experience designing for user-friendly mobile, seamless user experiences, Dr. Fan made a career U-turn to answer a calling to devote her expertise in user experience design and research to the course of making language learning easy, productive and enjoyable.
