"IQ Mandarin Basics" is a four volume series, each volume containing ten lessons and each lesson introducing 12 new, high-frequency, common, and "everyday-type" Chinese words. The entire series employs a "spiral format" that builds on previously taught vocabulary while only introducing twelve new characters at a time. The courseware allows learners to acquire Chinese in a systematic way. Based on J.S Bruner's educational theory called, "spiral curriculum," IQ Mandarin Basics courseware is designed to continually review Chinese characters which have previously been introduced, thus accumulating "reviewed" knowledge while simultaneously introducing "new knowledge."
