The conference resolved to develop materials vhich vere flexible enough in form and content to neet the requirements of a wide range of government agencies and academic institutions. A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Baucation, later joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Lenguage School. The represen- ‘tatives have included Arthur T. Melfeill, John Hopkins, and John Boag (CIA); Colonel Join F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, and Major Bernard Muller-Thym (DLI); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff IIT (FSI); Kazuo Shitana (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE! Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS). ‘The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 1974 in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds end other assistance. Gerara P: Kok vas appointed project coordinator, and e planning council vas formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia O'Connor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In ‘the fall of 1977, Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of ‘the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development. : Writers for the first half of the materials vere John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, end Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehen- sion end production self-study materials, and also designed the communica tion-vased classroom activities end wrote the teacher's guides. Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By 1978 Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola ned joined the staff. Lea ty Ms. Barale, they have vorked as @ team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6. iitAll Chinese languege material was prepared or selected by Chuan 0.

(triangles are men, end circles are vonen. The solid triangle end circle are the speakers on tape.) A man and voman are talking in front of a hotel. Another man and voman are standing nearby, but are not in the conversation. Still another man and women are in sight across the street, in front of another hotel. In other words, the dlegram shows vhich hotel and which people are near enough to the speskers to be "this" and which are far enough avay to be "thet." If you listen carefully te the conversation, you can work out the name and title of each person represented in Displey I, as well as where each is staying. You will hear the conversation three times. As you listen for the third time, write (in English) each person's name and the hotel where he is staying (X or ¥) in the brackets beside the figure which represents that person.

You are talking with someone about four other people are from, what cities they live in, and what cities they happen to be in now (on visits). Goal: To find matches between where two people are from, where two people live, or where tvo people are nov. Number of Players: Pairs of students, Materials: A fact sheet for each player. (See Sample Fect Sheets. vhich follow. ) The names of the two people you know about are written on the map next to the cities they live in. Arrows lead FROM the cities they are from 10 the cities they live in. Other arrows lead FROM the cities they live in 10 the cities they are visiting. In other words, each pair of head-to-tail arrows traces a person's progress from his home city to the cdty he lives in and on to the city he is visiting. Wi Tianxifng, for instance, is from Gu&ngzhdu, lives in Chéngdi, and is visiting Nénjing now. ‘The names of the people your partner knovs about are listed on your fact sheet in the lover left-hand corner. Procedure: Ask your partner questions about the people he knovs about. When you find a match between one of these people and @ person on your map, Point it out immedistely, using y&.

You are talking with three people ut where four other people are from, vhere they ere living or staying, and where they happen to be at the moment. Goal: To find matches between "hometowns/home provinces," "residences," or "present locations Number of Players: Groups of four students. Materials: One deck of cards vith names of people written on them and T) two decks of "home" cards--one for hometowns and one for home provinces; 2) two decks of "residence" cards--one for cities and one for hotel! 3) two decks of "present location" cards--one for cities and one for places. (See Cards--Matching, which follov.) For each round, use one deck each kind--"hometown/home province," “residence,” and "present location’ plus the name cards. Procedure: Each player is dealt e name card and one card from each of the ‘three other decks. When you are given the name card, place it face up in front of you so that the other players will know which person to question you about. (You vill use this card for all rounds.) Keep your other three carés in your hand. Use the "questioning by turns" procedure. Choose one player to be questioned by the other players. Then teke turns asking him questions sbout the person named on his card. When matches are found for "home," esidence," and "present location," choose another player to be questioned, and so on until each player has had his turn. During the questioning within your group, when a match is found between the "home," "residence," or "present location" of any two persons naned on the cards, point it out inmedietely, using y&. (Do this even when you are not the questioner or the person being questioned.) Exemple: You are Speaker 1.

Mr. Qifn has cone to Taipei for a few days. He happens to run into Miss Wéng, whom he has not seen for some time. You will hear the conversation three times. Answer the question below fas you listen for the third time. You vill need to know tvo new expressions: 348nin (to get married, to be married) méi iénin (not to be married) QUESTION 1, Among the people who will be at the wedding, who (if anyone) already lives in Taipei? arrived the day before yesterday? arrived yesterday? arrived today? will arrive today? will arrive tomorrow? will arrive the day after tomorrow? 2103310 Workbook, Unit 4 UNIT 4 P-2 WORKBOOK EXERCISE 1 In this exercise you vill ansver questions about WHETHER actions took place (with le) and questions about WHEN actions took place (with sh! You will also ansver questions about when actions ere going to take place (without le and shi...de). ‘The scene is the office of a hotel. The manager is asking the clerk about arrivals and departures of various guests. The information available to the clerk is shown in Display I. (The manager's questions show that he already has some information and is fairly sure about vhat some of the information vill be.) ‘The tail of each arrow shows the day of thet guest's arrival and the head shows the day of his departure. ‘Try answering the manager's questions before the clerk does, and then repeat the clerk's ansvers.

You put shi or bG shi before the verb and de after the verb if the question was WHEN the action took Place. You probably followed the simple and generally effective strategy of noticing whether the question had le or shi...de in it and answering accordingly, like tht Q: (yijing) zBule ma? (Hes he left Calready]?) (y¥Jing) zdule. (He has left Catready3.) (ht) m&i 2du. (He has not left Cyet].) hi n¥itian zbade? (What day aid he leave?) TA shi cu6tiln zSude. (ie left yesterday.) Q: 78 shi cu6tiin 2Sude ma? ——(D1d he leave yesterday?) A: TH shi zu6tian zdude. (He did leave yesterday.) A: 8 BG shi zu6tian zBude, (He aia not leave yesterday.) You algo had another clue: whether or not there was a time word like n&itian in the question. However, you can not count on always having such direct clues es to when to use le (or méi) and when to use shi...de (or bG shi...de). There is no question to copy from when you want to volunteer information or vhen you vent to ask a question yourself. You have to make the choice on your own, on the basis of whether you are talking about the event itself oF about some aspect of the event--or, to put it more concretely, on the ‘asis of whether you are emphasizing the main verb or some earlier part of the sentence. This exercise gives you practice in making the choice. Again in the hotel office, the manager is asking the clerk questions about the departures of certain guests. Display II is a list of the questions (in English) that the manager will ask. (They are rephrased in parentheses to indicate vhat the manager knows or assunes and vhat he wants to know.) There are three types of questions: Examp! * DID Sin Fulmfng leave yesterday? Sin Futming auétian 2ule mat? (He was planning to leave, but did he?) Knowing that this guest was planning to leave yesterday and wanting to knov WHETHER the guest did leave, the manager uses le. (Notice that the time can be mentioned incidentally vhen the center of interest is on WHETHER ‘the action took place. ) *These examples are the first three items on the tape. 105BIO Workbook, Unit 4 Example 2 WHEN did Wing MEiréng leave?

Wanting to know WHEN she left, the manager uses shi...de, Example 3, Did Zhang HOurén leave YESTERDAY? Zhiing HOurén shi zu6tian 2dude ma? (He did leave, but was it yesterday?) Again, the manager knows that this guest has left and wants to know WHEN he left.” However, this time the manager makes a specific guess, namely that it was yesterday. After hearing each item number on the tape, try to ask the question before the manager does. Then listen to his question and repeat. Finally, Listen to the clerk's ensver. DISPLAY It 1.
