Reviews

“This is a timely book to help teachers of Chinese as a second language to deal with the challenges of emergency remote teaching with more confidence. Its unique value lies not only in the careful studies of experiences of Chinese students and teachers during the pandemic, but also in the truly global perspectives brought by researchers in 10 countries around the world within different educational and cultural contexts. With the continuation of online education to a certain extent in the post-COVID era, this book will continue to be a useful reference.”
-Chengzhi Chu, University of California at Davis, USA


“A timely and invaluable contribution to Chinese language teaching (CLT). With its panoramic coverage of integrated use of technologies since and before the pandemic across five continents, the book combines practices with theories from the perspectives of both learners and teachers, offering many practical tips and rich food for thought. A highly useful reference for CLT teachers and students.”
-George Xinsheng Zhang, Richmond, The American International University in London, UK



“What do you do when there is not enough knowledge available to solve the problems you face in challenging educational situations? This book provides an overview of efforts by colleagues around the world to meetthe challenges of teaching Chinese remotely during the pandemic, to learn from the experience and to pass this knowledge on to others. Real educational engineers in the truest sense of the word.” 
-Jozef Colpaert, University of Antwerp, Belgium; Editor-in-chief of Computer Assisted Language Learning
