Interested colleagues can easily download it in a PDF version. The book is a reprint of the special issue of the journal, Languages. Through highly selective and rigorous review processes, the volume collects eight empirical studies showcasing research advances in multiple domains. The studies are theoretically motivated and have adopted a wide spectrum of methodological strategies to achieve a broader understanding of the nature of the learning task and the nature of Chinese language acquisition. The volume is also intended to bridge the gap between research and instruction by helping teachers to understand their students’ learning processes. Informed by research, teachers are able to opt for appropriate pedagogical approaches and instructional conditions for their students.
