THE FORMAT OF LEVEL III (FOR GRADE 11) DIFFERS FROM THAT OF LEVELS I AND II IN HAVING 20 UNITS AND IN THE INCREASED EMPHASIS ON READING AND WRITING SKILLS. THE AUTHORS' GOAL WAS TO ENCOURAGE SELF-STUDY BY THE STUDENT, ESPECIALLY IN LEARNING TO READ CHINESE CHARACTERS. THE GRAMMAR DISCUSSED IN THIS TEXT INCLUDES POINTS PRESENTED IN LEVELS I AND II WHICH HAVE PROVEN DIFFICULT FOR STUDENTS IN PILOT CLASSES. THE INTRODUCTION TO THE TEACHER OUTLINES THE PROCEDURES APPROPRIATE TO THE VARIOUS SECTIONS OF EACH UNIT AND SUGGESTS A SCHEDULE FOR SEVEN HOURS OF CLASSWORK PER UNIT. AS IN THE FIRST TWO VOLUMES, YALE ROMANIZATION IS USED WITH CHINESE CHARACTERS AND THE PUBLISHER IS THE ALTOAN PRESS, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA. (JD)
