<\/span>What is The Chairman\u2019s Bao?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Chairman\u2019s Bao [TCB] is the most comprehensive online news-based graded reader for students of Chinese. We publish over 1,600 lessons each year and now have a library of over 4,500 lessons from beginner to advanced level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since August 2017, each lesson we publish features automatically-graded comprehension exercises which teachers can set for students through a personalised Teacher Portal. We work with over 200 global schools and universities and match to popular international curricula including, but not limited to: IGCSE, IB, and GCSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What has made what you do so successful?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students love having autonomy over their study and language learning is facilitated through features such as: Live Dictionary, Learning Hub for Vocab Study, Stroke Order Animation and Character Writing tools, graded, spoken audio, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How can TCB help teachers?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had a great response from teachers of Chinese. Here\u2019s what a few of them have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Chairman\u2019s Bao<\/a> has made planning and resource finding so much easier! And my students engage with TCB articles for listening and reading in a way that never happens with dull text book exercises. No preparation needed.\u201d<\/em> – Dr Theresa Munford<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wholeheartedly recommend The Chairman\u2019s Bao to all students of Chinese, for self-learning or to supplement a formal course. The bite-sized bespoke articles, all graded according to HSK level, are current, interesting and well-written, and provide a wonderful incentive to keep students of all ages and levels motivated. The live dictionary, keyword list, grammar points, and comprehension questions are all invaluable aids both for self-learners and for busy teachers who simply don\u2019t have the time to create their own materials on constantly evolving content.\u201d<\/em> – Dr Frances Weightman, University of Leeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How can people access TCB?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our cross-platform study, facilitated through our website and app for iOS and Android, mean that students can study a multitude multiple locations and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
