Please share your experiences and information with textbooks, workbooks, reference materials, multi-media materials, manipulatives, etc. used in your immersion programs. For effective communications, please provide some basic information about yourself in the "signature" field under "Settings": Full Name, Title, Affiliation, City, State.

At www.chineseocw.com we have a complete program you may download and use. Have a look at both the "downloadable programs" page and the "wiki-projects" page. Our voice recordings are done at both "training speed" and "native speed".

Our program has two text books that are taught side by side, the Grammar Text (322 pages) and the Workbook (283 pages). Each Workbook lesson has an accompanying MP3 sound file that has recordings of all the dialogs and new words. The Grammar Text has complete grammar explanations combined with ample usage examples and the Workbook has dialogs, exercises and speaking activities.

I would like to add that, in our Summer Immersion program, we have taken the "cultural" part of our program deeper than I have found in any program.
