Abstract
Bilingual and bicultural scholar Yeng-Seng Goh offers the first in-depth English language analysis of global Chinese, exploring the spread of Chinese beyond China and
its emergence as a global language. Approaching the topic from a Singapore perspective, Goh uses this fascinating language ecosystem, with its unique bilingual language policy, as a case study for Chinese language learning. Offering clear insights into the pedagogy of teaching Chinese as an international lang+G3uage (TCIL), this
book covers a range of important topics, such as the sociolinguistic profile of Chinese language student-teachers, the use of English in the teaching of Chinese, the teaching
of Chinese by non-native teachers, information and communications technology in L2 learning and teaching, the progressive Chinese pronunciation programme and the
progressive testing of receptive skills. In doing so, it presents a new, integrative approach to the compilation of Chinese learner’s dictionaries, an innovative bilingual
hybrid model for training TCIL teachers, and a solid theoretical framework for Masters of Arts programmes in TCIL and a unique perspective on the establishment of
translation as a service industry.
