What is the textbook used to learn Chinese in Havard and MIT? I know that Havard has an excellent East Culture Research center but what about the teaching of Chinese there?
I'm assuming you're asking about introductory level stuff.


MIT: For complete beginners: Integrated Chinese

For people who have some level of speaking ability: Learning Chinese: A Foundation Course in Mandarin (a book made by MIT instructors) and A Primer for Advanced Beginners of Chinese, Simplified Characters

Harvard: Complete beginners: Also Integrated Chinese

Couldn't find any info on heritage learner's textbook.
