International Education and the Chinese Learner cover

This collection of essays aim at fostering discussion about the growth of international education and the Chinese learner between educators from schools and universities in Hong Kong and abroad. These essays are both theoretical and practical, coming outof the direct experiences of those who have been teaching Chinese learners in international contexts.

International Education and the Chinese Learner is a valuable contribution to the relatively new field of cultural and cross-cultural pedagogy. Built upon current research in the field, the volume provides readers with insights into the cultural influences on the learning experiences that Chinese learners bring with them, as they pursue their studies across the globe. It also shows that the notion of a single kind of Chinese learner has been put to the test as the contributors more fully explore cultures of learning, institutional contexts, and ethnic and national diversity. -- Rui Yang, The University of Hong Kong
