| Abstract | "A compendium of the latest developments in English language education for Chinese-speaking learners, this volume combines cutting-edge research from multiple internationally-known researchers to offer unique insights into the most salient issues facing this broad topic. The seventh volume in the Global Research on Teaching and Learning English series, co-published with The International Research Foundation for English Language Education (TIRF), this book features chapters with original research written by TIRF Doctoral Dissertation Grant awardees, which crucially address the growing need for research-based conversations on the contexts, environments, goals and measures of success for Chinese-speaking learners of English. It includes sections on language assessment, perceptions in university contexts, and technology, especially in relation to young learners, in order to fully cover the teaching and learning of English for native speakers of Chinese. The volume's thirteen research-based chapters discuss topics such as the impact and implications of using emerging assessment tools; the increase in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses; academic speaking and writing; and teaching in an online or hybrid environment. Researchers draw on their knowledge of their multiple contexts, as well as their learners' needs and goals throughout. This volume brings together innovative research for TESOL and TEFL students, language assessment scholars, and language teachers. Readers of this volume will become familiar with how these issues related to Chinese-learners of English are being addressed in academic circles around the world"-- Provided by publisher. |
