This book is a publication that traces the history of the study of Chinese and concentrates on what has transpired in language education over the past 20 years in America. It also contains a curriculum that teachers （of 1st-11th grades） may wish to use when they are teaching Chinese in their classes.
　　It is hoped that this book will provide teachers with an overview of Chinese education in the past and show them a path for the future of teaching Chinese in the United States education system.
