The “Access to Vocational Chinese” Series is a series of vocationalChinese language textbooks jointly developed by the Center for LanguageEducation and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education and the Talent Center ofthe Nonferrous Metals Industry. Based on the actual teaching development needsof “Chinese + Vocational Skills” in various countries and relying on Chinesevocational colleges, experts from various fields have been organized toparticipate in the development. Referencing the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards forInternational Chinese Language Education and the Chinese Proficiency Standards for Vocational Education, the textbooksare divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

According tothe typical work scenarios, work tasks, and frequently used expressions inrelevant occupations, sections such as texts, conversations, language points,and exercises are designed to continuously improve learners’ Chineseapplication proficiency and key technical abilities in the field of vocationaltechnology, providing assistance for learners to quickly get familiar with andadapt to the work environment.
This volume, Mechanical Manufacturing Technology(Elementary), enables overseas local employees engaged in mechanicalmanufacturing to conduct simple communication with Chinese technicians, selectappropriate tools and methods based on work site conditions, operate, inspect,and maintain common mechanical processing equipment, master safety knowledge, knowmarking symbols on Chinese equipment, understand simple Chinese instructionmanuals, and become familiar with relevant Chinese production technicalstandards.
Thetextbook consists of 30 lessons, focusing on three major modules: fitterskills, machine tool processing, and welding operations. It adopts anintegrated language and skills teaching approach through the scenario of seniorChinese employees guiding new foreign employees. Adhering to the principle of “prioritizingChinese for mechanical manufacturing, learning what is urgently needed first,and emphasizing practicality and sufficiency”, while also covering generalChinese and effectively connecting with general Chinese curricula andstandards, the textbook integrates Chinese language and skills through typicalworkplace language. This promotes coordinated progress in both languageeducation and skills education.
