CACC中文学校开设的中文课程基本分为K-8和高中两大部分：其中K-8（中文作为传承语）按照教材分类有两个分枝，暨南大学《中文》和《马力平中文》，各年级都有，其教法和内容编排各有特点，家长可以自行决定走那个分枝；高中阶段有学分班和非学分班之分，学分班按照程度分中文三、四和AP，进入学分班需参加分班程度考试；非学分班有中文三预备班和AP中文备考班。凡是没有达到进入学分班学习程度的高中生若想读中文学分的都需首先进入中文三预备班，完成该班学习任务者方可直接进入中文三。AP中文备考班，因为没有学分，不需考试就可入班。CSL是上述体制外的针对没有任何中文背景的学生开设的。 补充说明：“中文三”代表高中外语课第三年水平，UC/CSU承认完成“中文三”课程的学生已经有了三年的中文学习，以此类推，“中文四”-第四年，“AP中文”- 第五年。 CACC Chinese School offers Chinese language courses mainly for two different groups of students, grades K-8 and high school students. The courses for K-8 students are designed for students who learn Chinese as a heritage language. These Chinese-as-a-heritage-language courses are in two different learning channels based on the textbooks used, one is the textbook entitledChinese published by Jinan University, and the other one is the textbook entitled Stanford Chinese by Ma Liping; the high school courses are credit courses and non-credit courses. We currently offer three levels of high school credit courses, i.e.Chinese III, Chinese IV and AP Chinese Language and Culture. To enter a credit class, a student needs to take a placement test for proper placement. Non-credit courses include the Chinese III Prep Course and Chinese AP Prep. Any student with a need of preparation for entering the Chinese III class should take this Chinese III Prep Course first and, upon successfully completing the learning tasks in CLASS III course, will be allowed to take Chinese III. Chinese AP Prep course, as a non-credit course, does not require a placement test. Chinese as a Second Language courses are designed as a supplement outside of the above system for students who have no background of any kind in the Chinese language. A special note: The level of the Chinese III course represents a third year of taking Chinese as a foreign language, which means, UC/CSU recognize three years of a foreign language study for those students who have successfully completed Chinese III. For exactly the same reason, Chinese IV represents four years and AP Chinese represents a fifth year of taking a foreign language course in high school. |

During this transitional period, the fifth year course offers students an opportunity to develop their basic reading skills to a higher level of application. On the basis of Pinyin knowledge learned in the third year, students will review and distinguish characteristics of the Pinyin system with an emphasis on computer inputting for Chinese characters using the Pinyin system; meanwhile they will learn how to use a Chinese dictionary by using Pinyin, radical/component, and stroke indexing, in order to develop skills needed in using a convenient tool to study Chinese at a higher level. The structure of the textbook demonstrates the goals for using the language at a higher level and in a wider range, e.g. Unit Four of the textbook includes an adapted version of Chapter 20 in the classical Chinese novel "The Journey to the West". This not only provides an opportunity for students to be exposed to a masterpiece of the classical Chinese literature in an interesting form of the adapted version to learn about the Chinese literature and history, they also learn the brilliant language and culture as well as some dramatic describing techniques, which will help to lay a solid foundation in creative writing skills needed as a transition to the Sixth Grade when creative writing will be the major focus. Upon completion of the fifth year of learning of this series, students should have set up a basic foundation in listening, speaking, reading and writing Chinese.

This new version of the textbook for the 8th grade was re-organized by the author through combining carefully selected contents/lessons from the previous version of the textbook for 8th and 9th grades. Those changes were made to meet the US school system so that students will be able to complete studying the whole series by the time they enter the 9th grade, thus the current version of the textbook is the best from the best and enables our students to spend one year to complete studying the contents that were previously planned for two years. This new textbook for the 8th graders entitled "The Window of Chinese Cultures" (Volumes 22 to 24), provides the stage of learning of literature and cultures, which is divided into three units: Inspirations, Poems & Paintings, and Historical Figures. At this stage of learning, students will have opportunities to learn about Chinese literature and learn how to appreciate selected masterpieces of the Chinese literature, which will enable them to learn about the essence of traditional Chinese culture and thoughts. There will be various genres in Chinese literature (Confucius Analects, ancient poems, folk songs, prose, as well as in form of folk tales) in introducing the Chinese culture. Study of this textbook will enable students to learn about the sources of the Chinese literature and thoughts through the study of Chinese history, geography, cultural knowledge, as well as selected literati/authors and famous historical figures. Supplementary readings following each lesson will provide students with a wider and deeper understanding of what was learned in the text during the week. Many of the supplementary reading materials are in the form of prose rich in life wisdoms and philosophy, which is both entertaining and informative for learning. The textbook is rich in content and informative with a large vocabulary and a wide range of knowledge for reading. Through a careful study of this set of the textbook, students will be given an opportunity to better reach the goals of learning the Chinese language through strengthening and raising the overall ability in listening, speaking, reading, and writing the language.
