http://chinews.hawaii.edu/

The ChiNews-On-Web Course is a computer-assisted language learning (CALL) program that has been under development since 1991. It is a self-study and self-evaluation program to assist students in their development of intermediate and advanced Chinese language listening and reading comprehension skills.

The program is based on audio and video segments of actual Chinese language news broadcasts. The course was originally written for use on SUN workstations; it has just been rewritten into JAVA for use on the Web. There are 90 audio and 50 video lessons. Please address any questions or comments you may have about the course to Professor Y.C. Li, (yli@sec.lang.hawaii.edu), Department of East Asian
