I'm not sure where your school is -I teach in several secondary schools in the UK and I have used a course called Ni Hao published in Australia for many years. There is a textbook , student book , tape, teachers resources, CD of games and language lab CD so there is a lot of material to help you to plan good lessons. There are 4 books in the series so take the students to a reasonable level. The website for this is www.chinasoft.com.au -you can see sample pages from the textbooks there. I order all my books through a UK wholesaler.
There is also a textbook published this year in the UK called Chinese for GCSE which I am also using -this is published by the British Council - if you search on google under Chinese for GCSE the site will come up. (my internet is not working properly now so can't give you the exact url)
Other members of the forum may  be able to help further. If you need any more help with textbooks please contact me.

Thx, Anne. I'm teaching Mandarin in an international school. So they are english speakers. I'm using Conversational chinese 301 for high school students. But I make adaptations in teaching using the book.

I'm having problem finding the right book to teach Grade 1-6. Maybe you have some info's about this.

I think it is okay but is this for adults or school students ? If for schools there are some much better books -Ni Hao series and Chinese for GCSE. If you need info about these I can help.

What about Conversational Chinese 301 published by BLCU Press in China? Is it good to begin with?
