Opis

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Language Teaching defines Chinese language teaching in a pedagogical, historical, and contemporary context. Throughout the volume, teaching methods are discussed, including the traditional China-based approach, and Western methods such as communicative teaching and the immersion program. The Handbook also presents a pedagogical model covering pronunciation, tones, characters, vocabulary, grammar, and the teaching of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The remaining chapters explore topics of language assessment, technology enhanced instruction, teaching materials and resources, Chinese for specific purposes, classroom implementation, social contexts of language teaching and language teaching policies, and pragmatics and culture. Ideal for scholars and researchers of Chinese language teaching, the Handbook will benefit educators and teacher training programs. This is the first comprehensive volume exploring the growing area of Chinese language pedagogy.

She has published research on the interpretation and translation of early Chinese poetry in Early China, Comparative Literature Studies, Journal of Oriental Studies, and Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews. As coordinator of the Chinese Flagship Program, she is responsible for the day-to-day operations of a grant-funded undergraduate language program designed to help students beginning from any proficiency level to reach professional-level fluency in Mandarin.
