This experiment evaluated the effects of training tutors to use an instructional
package to teach pronunciation and translation of the Chinese language. Tutors'
correct use of the package increased from 68% of trials to 92% after training,
and student correct pronunciation increased from 45% to 90%, with similar effects
for translation. Continued use of the package, high social validity, and extended
follow-up suggest that use of the package may be sustainable.
