Li Guofang (Hrsg.): Educating Chinese-Heritage Students in the Global-Local Nexus

Weaving together a range of student voices, perspectives and insights, this collection of studies from around the world offers the educational community a better understanding of K-12 and adult Chinese-heritage students in various international sociocultural settings outside North America"This book fills [a] void by looking at Chinese diaspora in multiple geographic regions and countries ... with regard to the learning of the host language and English, as a lingua franca, while also learning and/or maintaining Chinese language and culture as a heritage language. ? [It] gives readers an opportunity to compare and contrast the varied, data-driven studies and ethnographic accounts that represent the rich, yet complex intersection of sociocultural, multilinguistic and psycho-emotional perspectives."

[and] provide[s] us with some important pointers about what future work needs to be done." Angel?M.
