This cutting-edge collection of empirical research focuses on teaching and learning Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) in Singapore and contributes to CSL or Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) pedagogy directly by closing the gap between research and practice. Studies in this volume are organised according to the different CSL/CFL teaching and learning settings which includes diverse theoretical frameworks (e.g., psychological, sociocultural, and cognitive etc.), methodologies (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods), modes of instruction (face-to-face and computer-mediated), targets of instruction (character learning, reading, writing, motivation, and professional learning), and levels of instruction (pre-school, primary and secondary). With original and engaging teaching and learning tools and techniques, this book is very useful for local and international teachers and researchers who seek to understand and explore CSL/CFL students' learning processes, effective learning strategies as well as professional training methods. Moving from theory to practice, this volume is an essential and rich resource for courses in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (TCSOL) programs, pre-service teaching-training courses and those who are interested in upgrading their second language acquisition knowledge bases and techniques.
