Abstract


Rocket Chinese Premium is an online program targeted at beginning English-speaking learners of Chinese. Mainly presented in an auditory and textual mode, it gives learners the basics of the Chinese language in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar through dialog drills and pattern explanation. In addition, it provides learners with useful expressions they may encounter in everyday interaction with Chinese people and cultural knowledge they need to know for a better understanding of the language. The program reflects a mix of teaching approaches including Grammar-Teaching Method, Audiolingualism, and Communicative Teaching Method. These features make it suitable to be used as self-access learning material by those people who want to master the basics of Chinese in a short period of time.
